Looks great, the motherboard too. MSI is generally not a bad brand. Make sure you get a 64 bit OS to support all that ram.
Also, if you have the money to spare i recommend getting a faster drive like a 10k rpm WD velociRAPTOR or two. |

Nothing wrong with MSI, at least as good as Asus & Gigabyte in my book, have owned several MSI boards (as well as video cards) over the years and had better luck with them than a couple of Asus boards. but I'm sure there are some rotten eggs in every brand, but even so, MSI is still a pretty good brand. Usually a pretty good combo of features, price & performance with that brand. |
