Or something won't work.
Give me suggestions on what to change.
Rules:
1. Don't tell me to change the CPU
2. Don't change my motherboard
3. Don't change my GPU into an nVidia without a really great reason.
4. Don't get me a single stick on RAM. |

For 2 and 4, why?
Also, I'd recommend getting the G500 (as wireless mice tend to have input lag for gaming, plus replacing batteries is annoying) and a slightly less wattage PSU (even 700W is probably overkill) and using the money saved to get a better monitor. (IPS, maybe?) |

"For 2 and 4, why?"
I like the MoBo a lot and number 4 was mostly directed toward OperaMini.
The G700s has an option for wired.
Keeping the PSU.
Do you recommend any monitors? |

1. Why do you like the MoBo a lot? 2. Why NOT get 1 stick of RAM? To be honest, the difference isn't that big. 3. Alright then, keep the mouse. However IIRC optical is better for gaming. Cannot recall why exactly, but might want to look into that. 4. Kind of overkill, but alright. 5. Considering you seem to be looking for a 22" monitor, the ASUS VS229H-P would be a good one. |

1. Check Asus's page for it 2. Better cooling and better performance, even if it's not that big. 3. Ok, but I'm kind of set on the G700s. 4. Will overkill affect anything? 5. I'm actually looking for a 21.5 inch or something. |

1. What about what's on the page makes you like it? 2. How does it give better cooling? Also, the performance change is literally unnoticeable. 3. -formerly 4- Just your budget. Paying more for something you don't really need. 4. -formerly 5- The VS229H-P is 21.5". I said 22" as they are referred to as '22" class" monitors. |

I like the MoBo because of it's design, sound, instant BIOS button, the BIOS itself, and the ports that it has etc. |

Also, another question.
Should i get rid of the case fans, are the stock ones good enough?
And if I OC the CPU to 4.1 GHz, could i still use the stock fan? |

You're not really going to be staring at your mobo... Explain the "instant BIOS button", as I see nothing of it on their website. Pretty much every quality mobo manufacturer has a BIOS similar to it with their mid/high end mobos nowadays. Pretty much every mid/high end mobo has the same ports. |

The stock amount of fans should be fine. Unless you live in a really hot area, you'll be fine.
Also, depends what you mean "stock fan". The stock intake/exhaust fans will be fine, however you shouldn't really OC with the stock heatsink, which you appear not to be doing as there is a heatsink in your build. |

@meldo
same ports =/= more ports
If I press the button, I can go to the BIOS any time. |

And another question.
What's the refresh rate of that monitor you recommended? |

"same ports =/= more ports

Unless you have like 10 external hard drives, all the extra USB ports will be useless.
Also, that feature isn't exactly useful as you'll rarely need to go into the BIOS. You'll use it a few times when first OCing your CPU and then it will become useless.
"Also, are the stock case fans quiet?"
They're probably not entirely silent, but they probably aren't insanely loud either. Stock fans tend to be heard, but not very loudly. |

60Hz
Refresh rate doesn't really matter unless you plan on entering tournaments or something.
Also the trade-off for less Hz is that IPS get better colour accuracy, which in tern results in better picture quality. |

It is wired. Or at least it can be. That's one of the reasons I like it. |

Nvidia GTX 670 plz. Because yknow, great drivers and tech. I love it. that's where AMD lacks. WINDOWS 7. NOT 8. Might as well bump it up to 1tb of storage space. Cause 500gb does fill up quite fast. |

Windows 8 is faster and cheaper. I may get an nVidia later if it really is better.
