Hi all,
So I just bought the ASRock z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3 Mobo and I want to build a gaming (mostly) PC around it- so suggestions etc please, thanks. First I suppose I'll explain a bit......

1. I will want SSD (128GB) M4 Crucial?
2. Originally was going with GTX690 however after some research now very much considering 1 of these-
a) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-GeForce-Edition-GDDR5-SDRAM-ZT-60302-10P/dp/B0082UY5VU/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1348090673&sr=1-1

b) http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GTX-Graphics-Card-Backplate/dp/tech-data/B0087ZSJRQ/ref=de_a_smtd

c) http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GeF-GDDR5-Graphic-Card/dp/B00829L3W0/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1348090898&sr=1-2

d) http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GTX-GDDR5-Graphics-Card/dp/B007Q87KZ2/ref=dp_return_1?ie=UTF8&n=340831031&s=computers

3. Also started with this Intel Core i7 - 3770K Boxed- I do want a good Ivy bridge even though pcie3 is not much use yet.

4. This CPU Cooler- Zalman CNPS12X

5. Have also purchased DDR3 8GB 1600MHz RAM.

6. Seagate Barracuda 7200 2TB- Hard Drive

7. Originally- Corsair HX Series 850W (Maybe overkill but want a good PSU and futureproof as much as possible.

8. LG BH10LS38 Black Blu-Ray Reader/Writer (Yes will be burning data onto bluray!)

9. Mouse- Cooler Master Storm SENTINEL Zero G (Have HP VoodooDNA Laser Gaming mouse might keep it- Love it!)

10. Speakers http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Z506-Surround-Sound-Speakers/dp/B003WJR482/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347994599&sr=8-1

11. This machine will also have 3 under 1 display (probably 4 24inch)

12. Unsure of case but want it BIG and Beautiful with USB 3 etc!

Sorry about long post but I want to get this right as want to buy rest of hardware and working by December. So all comments considered just remember I have Mobo and RAM! Thanks.

its a lot of money to be spending on a 'dated' chipset board.

under EU law, you have 7 days cooling off to send it back, which I suggest you do.

Thanks for the reply tea bag however this is the board I wanted and I wanted opinions on the other hardware! Also I got this board for €170 compared to my last board which was at least double when I bought it!
