You should have included Thermalright for CPU cooler (Silver Arrow, TRUE, Venomous X). Since Thermalright was not available I voted other.For favorite GPU maker I would have voted for "None" if that option would have been available.Obviously most people who have voted have SB systems since 8GB of ram is the front runner in ram amount.

I'm surprised that so few people have MSI motherboards. They are one of the best, at least as good as Asus. I'm definately not 100% pleased about Asus. All their boards have the double boot problem, and I'm not able to overclock past 4.5 GHz no matter how high the voltage goes. It sometimes fails at bootup although stable in OS.

My first Sandy Bridge MB was a premium MSI but it was DOA from Newegg. They took it back entirely at their own expense and refunded everything including shipping. Bought an ASUS instead as I have never had a moments problem with anything they have made.Kind regards,
