Review:
1. I selected the haf because it has good airflow so I hear.

2. I randomly selected that mobo with my eyes closed.

3. Gave you 1000W's of future-proof-ness.

4. Gave you 6GB's memory.

5. Gave you 2x500GB HDD's 1 is for your games and what not and if you want you can use the other for backup or do what it says on the sign and use it for media/data.

6. Gave you 2x275 because its good for 1900x1200 since I didnt know what you were gaming @ I did that. Anything less I don't think you'll be needing more than one.

7. Gave you Liquid Cooling. I should help with the noise but I may be wrong...

8. OC'd CPU 3.3-3.9 so you'll be flyin...

9. I forgot to switch the OS's so when you click on that link if you'd do it yourself thanks its near the bottom of the page, because if I do it I'm going to have to re-write this entire review...which wont be fun.

10. It comes equip with my 3yr warranty...

LOL i bet you really inspire the OP with confidence by telling him you picked his mobo at random.

Though with that said the EVGA X58 isnt a bad board at all.

Are you retarded? what you said: Should I stick with a desktop or laptop for that? I prefer laptops but if desktop is better for me then please tell me which specifications I should consider.
Laptop = Weaker and you said if a desktop is better for you which the answer sorta is YES because desktops are better than laptops in everything other than you can run around in circles in the middle of the desert and play command and concore single player mode until the battery dies out. 2nd of all who said this was a 2010 gaming rig? 3rd of all I was trying to help you because you asked for help. 4th of all: you've been very rude. 5th of all: I did ask for a smarter person to review my build. 6th of all: turns out the mobo is fine. 7th of all: 1000w psu doesnt make it a 2010 rig, or does LC.



8th of all: I BID YOU GOOD DAY SiiiiiIIIIIrrrRR

Those games don't require 2 video cards. Just saying. The prebuild enthusuast 1 is more than enough to play those games and more.

For sure a better deal but over kill for what he wants to play. He doesn't seem to be interested in future proofing his rig. That's what I gathered anyway.

Alright, you don't need to bold things so that people understand what you are saying. We are not dumb either and it is insulting that you seem to think that we are.

That said, there is no reason for you to be so demanding. Also, you're making demands to the wrong people. We're not "digital storms" but rather their customers/fans. A few of the DS staff does post here but not anyone that has posted in this thread.

Since you want a laptop, what screen size would you prefer? 15.6" or 17"? Those are the sizes for the customizable options.

Also, I do believe that DS is going to refresh/add more stuff to their laptop selection soon. They redid the desktop page and I think they're going to be redoing the laptop page as well. Not sure when that may be, but you might want to wait until then to make any purchases.

If that's the case then you made it pretty obvious for yourself since DS only offers no customizable and ONE preconfigured laptop at 15.6 inches, and here it is: http://www.digitalstormonline.com/laptoploadsaved.asp?id=262487

Now literally 2 clicks from the main DS homepage would have gotten you there, but instead of doing one iota of research yourself you came here and spammed this bored with with a question that was quite self evident to begin with, then you insult and flame everyone who tries to help you.

So now that you have your answer you can go away.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SAGER DOES NOT MAKE THEIR LAPTOPS? CLEVO does. 1st of all I assumed you knew that and wanted to get a DS laptop cause you liked the brand, which is kind of the point since every high end boutique pc builder's laptops are sourced from CLEVO (INCLUDING SAGER). Clevo is the original MANUFACTUER and Sager is the original DISTRIBUTOR.

Now that you have proven my point that you are a IGNORANT and ARROGANT individual you now have my permission to GET LOST.

Please don't feed the trolls.  

You seem to misunderstand me.  YOU are the troll.  You only seem to come to the forums to be belligerent and put down DSO products.  If that is your purpose and you want to buy a Sony Vaio then go do so.  Nobody is stopping you.
