Well yeah it looks as good as any person would need. Thing is though if you buy a graphics card you'll have to buy it PCI-Express which I think cost a little bit more money. And they don't make the cheaper cards in PCI-Express I don't think.

Umm never tried one .... but they look okay!

I'd stick with Asus or MSI or even DFI!

SOCKET NUMBER IS EVERYTHING. ANd when your putting it togther and it don't fit. Don't hammer it. My uncle had a custmer who did that. Then demanded a refund.
