There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers. Installation was a breeze with this puppy. I love the BIOS and the different HD GUI options that ship along with this board. This is a great deal, picked mine up with a 10% off coupon combined with some gift cards and reward zone points, so there's no chance I would've found it at a better price. I was actually pretty excited when I saw best buy had this combo on their site. Glad I decided to double check Best Buy for components before buying elsewhere! Thanks Best Buy! If I had a complaint, it's that this system boots so fast when combined with a ssd that it took me a bit to realize I was supposed to be hitting "DEL" instead of a function key to pull up the BIOS. The POST screen was a flash at best (and that's a problem I'm okay with having.) But that's a question that the Internet quickly answered. It was probably in the manual too, but I'm lazy.

My last processor had a minor issue with the heat sink getting slightly melty and fusing to the processor and motherboard. I've had this one for a month now, and it hasn't melted to anything yet, so that's nice. Also it's faster.

Performance of this motherboard+CPU is great. I am using it setup a water cooling PC and so far it's been performing flawlessly.
