So I'm back for this years double check for a computer I'm building. The main concern here is that this is a reasonable motherboard to house all the other junk I'm putting on it.

Case

Motherboard

HDD

Video Card

Power Supply

RAM

CPU/Heatsink combo

I've got DVD drives and windows taken care of, so don't worry about reminding me of those two things.

So that's about it, anybody want to tell me whether that's a decent motherboard for the build? The one thing I always get lost on is people discussing performance loss due to bottlenecks and what-not (which I don't quite understand yet, but that's partially due to my lack of research).

Any other recommendations are more than welcome

I'm trying to keep the build to around 900 bucks or so, with what's listed above, a DVD drive, and Windows, the total is right around 890 or so, just FYI
