So the MSI 270 gaming motherboard is out of stock on newegg, and ~$30 more every where else in comparison
Any other recommendations for motherboard? I am trying to steer away from a motherboard with a Realtek lan chipset. I really like the sound of the chipset on the 970 gaming
I already bought the 8350 when it was on sale, so needs to be compatible with amd processors
and I'm looking around ddr3 1600-2133 ram so needs to be compatible with that

Also, my budget has increased slightly. After buying the processor, I still have $1000 to spend and want to push it to it's limit if it shows a noticeable difference in performance

This is one motherboard that was recommended as a replacement. Is it as good or better than the 970 gaming?

Here is another mobo that I found that seems decent (one drawback is it doesnt support 1866 ram, but that's fine)
But a large benefit is it has an intel lan chipset which I heard are much better than Realtek or any others

Well assuming I can still return the CPU I already ordered since it hasn't even shipped yet from amazon, what mobo would you recommend with that processor
and is it really going to be worth the extra $80 to change to that intel processor. Will I see a noticeable difference from the 8350?

MMO's used to be big for me. I don't really play GW2 anymore but am trying out Firefall
The games I play daily and the most are League, Modded up Skyrim, PoE, Warframe, Borderlands

But a large part of this build is to support Photoshop and arcGIS, which I don't know if they run off 1 core, multiple cores, or if their performances are largely affected simply by GPU

OK guys I'm torn on graphics card. I know everyone has recommended the gtx 970 (I'll probably go with msi)

http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-GAMING-4G/dp/B00NN0GEXQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416767825&sr=8-2&keywords=gtx+970





but when i was checking out deals, the folllowing card showed up

its a gtx 770 from pny but looks to be the same if not better, and is currently on sale for the same price as the 970



Also could use a well recommended Liquid cooler for my CPU

Do you know a good motherboard for my 8350?
I found a pretty solid deal on some ddr3 2400 ram (16g for 130 on newegg) but the current motherboard I have isn't compatible with that ram
This is my current mobo (on an awesome sale for $60 for black friday)

Or is the upgrade from 1866 to 2400 really going to make a significant difference for the price?
