    After looking, would have been better off with the new HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect sound card as well but that's pretty minor.

    DUDE YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE POINT HE SAID
    This is a first-time build, so if anything seems out of place, please tell me. Also, I may do some mild OCing in the future, but it's definitely not a deal-breaking priority.
    DFI isn't a good first board and mild OCing isn't to hard to achieve on any boards these days.. So stop being a fanboy and realize DFI isn't the ANSWER TO EVERY
