Hows that looking?
I'm still unsure on MOBO its a flip between the Sabertooth, Fatal1ty Pro and EVGA FTW Z77 boards any advice?
Lastly I'm also still needing to choose a GPU, I'm wanting to go with the nVidia GTX680 however I'm not too sure on brand I've always heard good things about EVGA are they up to scratch? If I was to go down the EVGA route would I be better off getting the standard, signature or holding out for the FTW range wich will probably ship with 4gb instead of 2gb RAM.
Thanks to everyone whos helped so far!

I feel like somne kind of child being so petty as to condem a board based on its colour but I was trying to go for a Red/Black or Red/Black/White theme yet for some reason almost every Z77 board is blue and I mean BRIGHT blue!
