I would suggest Sandy Bridge over Ivy. Ivy doesnt have nearly the same OC head room as Sandy. _________________ CPU : Core i5 3570K

Ah fair enough. The only other thing thats stands out is the 4TB Hitatchi drive. 5400 RPM may be a little slow for heavy media read / write use. _________________ CPU : Core i5 3570K

the 7200 4tb nearly impossible to find sadly
well i been working on the config. via help form OC3d and my LAN Party group. i want speed, connectivity, reliability, gaming, multimedia.. i deiced i am also going to still use my corsair 800d and but a bunch of bitfenix alchemy blue braid extensions. the reason i thinking deluxe board will be good for me is i can raid 0 dual 120gb ssd for boot drive as well as run a 60gb with a 2tb programs/games cache drive setup. it also has wireless and blue tooth so i can trans fer files to my phone via blue tooth.
