Few recommendations on changes.

Seen a few hundred complainants about that board and the 965 and 970 BE chips.

Recommend the asrock 880g or 890g.

Corsair ram is hit and miss on compatibility.

If you get the asrock or stay with your asus. OCZ reapers or Gskill would be a wise choice in terms of compatibility.

PSU is sound, might want to add just a bit higher end one for growing room, just a thought. But it is nice to have room to grow with out buying a new PSU.

Also, just a thought but the hexa core can be had for not much more and packs a hella punch for the price.

My turbo core is fully working in 10.10 for what it is worth. Recommend you install the 2.6.35.23 kernel in updates. Looked to help add 2% better coding times with use of turbo core.

owned 2 of these boards before I moved to the 890FX asrock EX 3 boards.

Both of the boards performed like winners.

Very solid and very stable. Better bang for the buck then the asus you listed.

P.s. asrock is made by asus lol

That's the stuff I use to this day. Only mine is the 7 7 7 24 1600 1.65v.

Just the same, you can run 1600 out of the box with that asrock board with the ocz reapers.

Just make sure what ever CPU you pick has the newer 3 stepping with the newer memory controller to run that DDR3 1600 stable.

Should work out of the box, just install the FGLRX drivers via additional drivers tool and your set.
