Sure. Asus Z77 M-Pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131833

Asrock is a spinoff from Asus. They were actually "owned by" Asus until a few years ago, but now they're on their own. You'll find a lot of Asrock boards on enthusiast forums, they're pretty highly respected for their "bang for the buck". Between the Asrock and the Asus above, I'd say one is as good as the other.

That'sss perrrfect :D ! Thank's so much

Is Proventage a trusted website? Just saw this: http://www.provantage.com/evga-02g-p4-2680-kr~AEVGA0NX.htm

What about the Galaxy http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-GeForc...DFW8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1336060492&sr=8-4 Gtx 680? Is it reliable?

I know that Evga is more famous, though?

Evga is a very trustworthy manufacturer. I'll do some quick research on ProVantage but so far, it's seeming like a reliable webstore. Do you live near any MicroCenters or Frys?

Provantage reviews by customers. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/PROVANTAGE_Corporation There are a few that would throw you off but as it is with any company or manufacturer, nobody is perfect. 1 happy customer is equal to 5 bad ones in my opinion. And some of the things that they're blaming the company for are not their fault, the package delivered to the neighbors house would be something with either FedEx, UPS, or the USPS that they used to ship the product. Out of the company's control.
 
I have a Microcenter that is 20mn away
The nearest Frys is sort of... very far ^^ ! I'll call Microcenter

I've seen a lot of happy people write about Microcenter and Frys and the praise of the ability to walk in the store and purchase and do the same to return if it is needed. I would say a retailer would be one of the better options if the price is right of course, when it comes to shipping back returns, it can take awhile and be a hassle vs. walking into the store and getting money and picking up a new product. I don't live near anything like Microcenter or Frys so for me, I'm SoL.
 
Mhh okay, I'll try to call Microcenter and see if they can do something for me!
I'll let you know ;)
 
Can't get them on the phone.
Good news, they have the i5 3750K for $199 total ;0 !

Haha, you're just making me sad that I don't have one anywhere near me. Though, I guess I could have them ship to me since they do that. If I were you, I would write up a list of what you're looking to get, give them the list and have the prices from Newegg and Amazon on a separate piece of paper for yourself, compare what they have with what's online, get what they have cheaper there, and order the rest.

If you want to, I can buy one for you and you'll pay via paypal ;)

I did the comparison and Amazon has almost every thing cheaper. And since I'm a Prime member, with $3.99, I can get them all tomorrow :D

Haha, Microcenter has the i5 2500k which is what I'm getting for $169 vs the $209 that I found it for on Amazon, the closest Microcenter to me is in Boston though :( About 3 hours away.

I'm in Johnston Rhode Island so it's norther RI but it's still a bit of a trek for me to get up to Boston, I'll probably have my brother pick me up one if he's going up there for work anytime soon. Saving $34 would be pretty nice. Want to see the rig I'm looking at buying?

Guys, do I really need a GTX 680?
I mean... I just need something to run Call Of Duty MW3 & the next 4, Maybe Black OPS 2 and Battlefield on Ultra settings...
The GtX 680 is not overkill?
 
The fact that the GTX 680 is out of stock really bothers me ;/ !
I am selling my laptop tomorrow morning :( :( !
I really want that card but lord, where can I find it :(
