Whats your budget and which cabinet are you using?

If your cabinet can support ATX form factor then go for ASUS P8B75-V by increasing budget by 1k.

You are better off setting up the whole rig here from scratch by starting a thread.

You dont need a cx500 for that rig, 430 is sufficient.

Post a new thread in PC components and answer this....*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...-help-answer-these-questions-first.html...you will get a much better response and better configuration within your specified budget.
