CPU : Intel Core i7 720 2.66ghz
Graphics : Nvidia GTX 285OC
RAM : CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
HD : Seagate 320GB Free Agent Pro (took out of external enclosure and now it's internal)
Optical : HP - 24x Internal Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive
Case : Cooler Master HAF 932
PSU : BFG - 1000-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply
OS : Windows 7 64-bit

Motherboard : (was Intel DX58SO) but intel kind of screwed me over because my motherboard is not compatible with my processor or something, and now it's just not working at all. My problem is almost exactly the same as this posting (http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/mickeys-new-build-?replies=7)
So I was was wondering what about this motherboard... the EVGA E760 CLASSIFIED!
what do you guy's think?

hey, absolutely nothing wrong with that build.
only would advise getting a bigger HD, maybe a 500GB WD caviar black, for good load speeds.
or even a SSD for the OS.
the EVGA E760 classified is a great motherboard (at a GREAT price). you can get a motherboard with similar specs like the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 for ALOT cheaper here
if your set on the EVGA then go for it but if you want to save some dollars for some accessories or even a nice CPU cooler then go for the ASUS, you wont be sorry.
