asrock b75 pro 3 + i5 3450 = 319
1 x 8gb kingston ram = 76
cd rom = 22
Plextor SSD 128GB =159
1tb hitachi hdd = 76
7870 myst = 311
fsp raider 550w = 78
sharkoon t5 = 63
win 7 hp oem 64bit = 115

total 1219
tradepac

the reason why i choose pro 3 over DGS being i prefer to have a board with onboard gpu, easier to troubleshoot and so call "insurance"

if you dont need the onboard gpu u can choose DGS 19 dollar cheaper which hits 1200
but since its tradepac i suppose it is easy to make 1219 to 1200 without even changing board

I think onboard gpu is linked to your CPU not motherboard.

DGS also supports onboard graphic if your CPU has integrated gpu.

oh i have been living with the impression that DGS does not have any dvi or vga my bad
and yes of cause i know CPU needs to have integrated gpu ...

And the DGS is an mATX board while pro 3 is ATX. Pro3-m then mATX.

 

[sharkapl]

yes i do know that too...

i dont like the idea of paying more for smaller board when the case is a ATX one

yes i have weird thinking
