hey thanks zinga
lol forgot about the PSU .. originally had a 3570K and an H100 there but eku said he won't be overclocking anyway :))

should probably change that to a good 400-450watt PSU ?
sooo.. since no overclocking, Z75 over Z77?

z75 and even h77 support unlocked cpu's lol , difference is no SSD caching for the Z75 and no 3 GPU support
so i suppose a Z75 would be alright

also.. i got him an h40 since idk if the stock HSF will be enough to cool the CPU when gaming

(mine goes up to 80-90C in games @ stock clocks ... sandybridge though.. but still )

thanks zinga :D
