Yeah all their deals are in store only, but the prices are good enough that I drove down from Des Moines to take advantage.

I think Im going to go in there after work tomorrow and Have them price me out everything, and then put about half of it on my Visa, cant pass up saving almost $200. I used to live right by Micro Center, I just never went in.

I'm not a fan of ASRock.

Their mobo's seem slim with a lot of flex and then they use an irregular size so the right side of the mobo gets stressed when plugging in the 24 pin.

This is 1 thing I am open to. I like all of the Pros it has, but I did not like how often a read a review of people having issues. other good MOBOs?

So what would someone suggest as far as an every day run of the mill PC that can also run most if not all games fairly decently?

Don't need anything extravagant...just looking for something that I can game with or my wife can use, something like that.

Hometeam said he would build one. Why not just ask him and save money?

ASUS is always a safe bet.

I recently built a computer with the ASUS Z87 PRO.

I picked this board for its built in wifi, upgraded lan chip, upgraded audio chip, and its standard size.

But it's a lot more expensive than the Extreme 4, but its also a whole other class of mobo.

I think the ASUS Z87 A is a pretty damn good package for a somewhat inexpensive board and their entry level board.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131981

A lot of people had a bunch of good things to say about the MSI G series boards.

Okay I really like the ASUS mobo. Love that it has built in wifi. Only $50 more expensive than the AsRock, -$20 when I subtract the Wifi dongle I bought. That seems worth it

Shogun 11-24-2013 11:13 PM

Okay gentlemen. I think I am almost at a finished product

I bought an asrock mobo from microcenter no problems with it at all. In fact when I bought it microcenterhad a crazy deal on it.
