Am I right in thinking though that as I will be using a large case it would be better to use ATX as opposed to Micro ATX?

sorry, thats the wrong one, hang on a sc and ill find mine.

i guess it was taken off newegg, so ill probably go with this one

I wouldn't get any Asus mobo that is under 200$. Most of their low-end mobo's have bad reviews and generally aren't as stable as these MSI boards.

Able to CF your 6970's and give rock solid overclocks.

Also, for the love of God..switch out that Coolermaster junk for a nice RELIABLE Corsair / Seasonic / Antec / XFX one.

Will a 64GB SSD be large enough coupled with a 2TB Barracuda Green?

Are you talking about the motherboard? If you actually paid for a 90$ Asus mobo, well, then you probably have close-to-none upgrade / overclocking options.

The SSD will be your boot drive and to store some heavy programs like Cinema 4D - Photoshop so it will load up extremely fast compared to a standard 7200rpm HDD.

Excellent, thanks. I have decided on that corsair power supply, it sounds very good for the price. Still not sure which motherboard though...

Awesome.

You can't go wrong with Corsair PSU's - They have 5 - 7 year warranties as well! Tier 1 & 2 beasts!

I prefer sticking to MSI when choosing a motherboard.

Take a look at this GD65 - It has almost every single feature that you could ever ask for. I'm pretty sure it **competes** with Asus' p67 Deluxe mobo.

Make a video i would definitely watch

for a motherboard i would go for the ASUS Rampage III Extreme

I'm afraid that motherboard does not support the new i7 chipset, I think I will go for the Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard, as it seems very good for the price, as I can't really afford a 200+ motherboard, as a lot of money is going on the other components.
