Pros: Solid board, easy to get things in place, hard to break it

Cons: The integrated video causes ram issues with many different ram brands. I was only able to ever get it to boot with Corsair XMS 2 5-5-5-12 ram (i tried other corsair xms2 with dif speeds and gskill, just gave memory error beeps on boot).

Overall Review: If your planning on purchasing a video card and have no need for the integrated vga graphics card, please buy the 965P-DS3 instead of the 965G-DS3. The P does not have integrated graphics, which is what seems to cause the ram problems. I purchased a P just before writing this review, and all the ram that wasnt working in my G magically boots in my P. I have had other people I know tell me they had the same problem (which is why i finally decided to change to the P)
