No Retailer has the asrock fatal1ty P67 B3 in Stock yet (one has extreme6)

This will be a Red White and Black Themed Build

Extreme6 and Fatal1ty are very Similar in Specs, fatality is just $30 USD more but its better looking (other than the Bios background -.-)

Retailer Combos basecally Counter Shipping Expenses

Any Suggestions, or incompatibility

also what psu out of those two should i get? nzxt has shorter eps 8pin and 24pin connectors

sorry for the mess
 
cooler shouldnt really matter about what it looks like surely you want performance and the nh-d14 would outperform that.

mobo wise never used asrock before but i would rather go for asus/gigabyte/msi board

ram have you looked at mushkin?

psu they are both good wont be dissapointed either way
 
Are you planning to overclock your CPU? Because from their past motherboards I wouldn't recommend getting an Asrock motherbaord. I would rather go with something from Gigabyte/Asus/MSI. For the cooler, if you are set on the H70, there is no need to try to convince you not to get it. But the H70 doesn't perform well in many situations.

For memory, I would advice you to look at the Kingston memory OC3D reviewed today. It's the Genesis at 2133 Mhz speed. I don't think you will need 8GB of ram unless you are doing some heavy video editing. Everything else looks good

Theres a Review Here on the Asrock fatal1ty, looks good, and on par With the others , in the Conclusion they also put in that They have been working Really hard to Get their Reputation up and no Longer Want to be Known as Just a OEM/Budget Board manufacturer, they want to compete with Asus ROG and Gigabyte UD7

Their Overclocking looks Good aswell plus We get 1 year extra warranty if anything Goes wrong

so 4 year warranty

As for Ram i think i might go with The Mushkin Ridgeback

to Save an extra 10$ im going to go with the NZXT Hale 90, since i Will just buy NZXT Extensions

Will be ordering my Stuff 1 week after Gtx 590 is released (hoping for Price drops) If im able to get my hands on a Board by that time (super low stock)

*Question for Tom (if you read this)* Will you be Doing a Review on the New Asus gtx 570/580 Direct CuII Cooler?
 
I saw an unboxing of that asrock fatal1ty, and man does it look sweet. As they have been saying, yah asrock is trying to get into the mainstream performance game. Its too bad that wendell guy is such a dork.

Lol I hate the bios picture on it, Hope Asrock implements a way to Change it, like the Fatal1ty logo ("F") but might not happen.
