Thanks Hans, I just ordered everything from newegg. Will post back when I get it done and give some feedback.

I am looking and building a cheap set up for a friend at work with this board. It will be a good start for him with all the new features. Can I use a standard atx power supply with this board or do I need a atx 2.0 with the 24pin plug and duel 12volt rails. Thanks in advance for any help.
