what kind of budget do you have?
from my standpoint that is alot of motherboard. a MB like that would suggest expecting overclocks or a high end system.

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS:
Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 3.0 GHZ CPU Dual Core Processor 2 GB RAM NVIDIA 8800GTX+ or ATI 3800 series+ Video Card 30 GB of Free Hard Drive Space Broadband internet connection your at 480.00 less shipping with the products you selected add 100.00 for Windows 7 which brings it to 580.00 that leaves you 420.00 to get a graphics card, quality power supply, 4 gb of memory, hard drive, and an optical drive. I assume you have keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speakers. You may want to consider backing down on the case and motherboard. Like Nikkon mentioned, that is an enthusiast class motherboard and may not be a necessity given your budget and needs. You should go for a balanced system and at 580.00 out of the gate limits this goal considering your budget. |

Basic gamers can be built for $800 to $1000. I'm not sure you could run DC Universe at full settings, 60 FPS and with a big monitor though....but something could be built.
