Of course. Everyone loves a good build thread.

I haven't really been able to watch an ISU game this season yet. I caught some of the Tulsa game, sadly didn't get to see the Iowa game, and I don't think the WIU game was on here. It'll be great to be able to watch the Tech game.

I haven't heard much about it at all, but it's gotten good reviews, so people must be doing okay with it. I've personally always preferred crucial and corsair.

I've seen TCU play two weeks straight. They're good, but they turn the ball over way too much. They should have easily beat KU, but if KU would have had a better gameplan in the second half (instead of passing every play with our crappy QB), KU could have easily won that game.

Virginia is AWFUL. Their QBs are terrible, and their 3rd down defense is pathetic, still TCU couldn't really put them away. Pachall seems to get beat up more every game, and I think it's only a matter of time before his play decreases as a result.

Yup. You don't even really need to if you don't feel like it, as it'll run just fine at 1600. Some people just like to squeeze every bit of performance they can out of their hardware.

Tech W, TCU W, KSU L, OSU W, Baylor W, OU L, Texas L, KU W, WVU L

I'm guessing ISU takes at least one of the L I put down, most likely OU or WVU. Both are at home. Texas, there's a chance. Their D is strong, but I always feel like they're way overrated until they lose. It's in Austin though. They'll be fighting the team, the crowd and probably the refs. WVU only beat Maryland by 10, and I think they'll get a couple of losses by the time they play ISU. OU has shown that they can be iffy at times, but they're a good team. Sadly, I think KSU has a chance at a BCS game by winning the Big 12. As much as I hate their fans, Snyder is probably the best coach in the nation, and that team never misses an opportunity to capitalize.

I'm thinking between 8-10 wins and a shout at a really good bowl game.

Between K-State winning and KU losing to NIU, I could have used a good ISU win yesterday Oh well, "There's only one team in Iowa....There's only one team in Iowa"

I just noticed your message, sorry about that >.<

Everything looks to be compatible. You don't have a mouse on the list, so I'm assuming you don't need one. One thing to keep in mind, is that with that processor you wont be able to overclock very much. Intel does this dumb thing where they lock some of their processors so you can't overclock them. If you are looking to do any overclocking, you would have to spend an extra $15 and go for the 3570k. No idea why they do it, but it's worth mentioning.

The other thing is, due to the motherboard, your ram is going to be clocked down to 1600, as that's the highest it nativly supports. You'll be able to overclock up to 1866 without a problem, just worth mentioning.

Other than those two things, it looks like a solid build and should do well for a good few years at least.

Happy Birthday

I ordered 2 of the Zild stools at the same time as the Fender stools. Looks like they're only being picky about the backordered stuff. They probably didn't know what was going on until they saw 5000 of these on backorder and decided to check on it.
