Cheap Killer

Well guys, my recent build has gone out the window, LITERALLY.

Some @$$hole broke into my place whilst I was away and cleaned out my living room. Well $#it happens .

My new build for gaming will be:
Intel Core i5 2500K
EVGA GTX 480 1.5GB (Bitspower GTX480 Fullcover Block)
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile Black
Corsair HX650
120GB Corsair Nova SATA III
Corsair 400R
XSPC Raystorm Intel CPU Block
XSPC RS240
XSPC RX120

Now guys I need a good BLACK motherboard so is the MSI Z77-GD43, GD55 any good? Mind you I already have the components mentioned just need a motherboard. Normally I would use a Gigabyte motherboard but after using over 20 Gigabyte motherboards without a hiccup I would like to try MSI.

Z77A GD45/55/65 are all great boards.

P.S. sorry to hear about your burglary

+1 for the G45, GD55 and GD65

There's always the new MSI Mpower that one looks good .

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
just because you said a black motherboard and the MSI ones have brown tracers everywhere so it doesn't look all that black but I haven't seen one in person only photos so maybe it looks different in person/

+1 for the gd55 and gd65

Hmmmm

Well the G45 suits my needs more since I wont be doing much overclocking but I will grab a GD55 instead. Thnaks lads.

Lol now about security systems..... any clue lol?

Not for where you live, no
If this is commonplace in your area, you could look into installing a CCTV system for the home.

Lol I was actually jokin, normally the dogs do the job but this time I took them on vacation with me.

Sorry for not replyin immediately, was at sea for a bit .
I live in Antigua and Barbuda in the caribbean. My dogs normally protect my place but this time i thought i should take them with me on vacation as well so the chap who rob me was stalking my place. But with a population of 82,300 my PC won't be hard to find

Build complete. Settled on the MSI Z77-G45. Slightly disappointed with the overclocking but oh well. Was a LAN party last weekend and some punk asked to buy it, so the cycle continues :'(

What kind of overclock did you get?
