Final Checks - Around €1,000

Maybe try and change to an MSI Z77a-G45/GD55/mPower if you can afford it.

The Gigabyte is pretty budget really, whilst the MSI offerings offer better performance.

Other than that - excluding the DVD drive, things look fine - but nobody cares about DVD drives :p

The mPower is way out of my budget, roughly another €40 - €50 more. I was firstly going to go with the GD 55, but was told the Gigabyte would allow me to overclock better. I also like the aesthetics of the UD3H more. Could someone enlighten me on the differences, the good and the cons between them? Thanks. I need the ODD for my W7, it will probably become useless after that. :P
 
Download windows 7 online and install through USB. No need for a dvd drive at all.

And the GD55 will give you better performance - although it will be marginal, it'll hopefully be more reliable too

Eh, I might go with it, I just don't like the plastically look of it at all. Windows 7 to DL is like 6Gigs, trust me with my internet that would take me days to download. I'd prefer just to have the disk tbh. + I'll need the ODD, as I won't be downloading games due to my internet connection, so I'll have to buy them in disk form.
