    Well I found out today that the ASUS P8P67 MoBo isn't available to order for my build so my builder found me a ASUS P8Z68 -V LE. Will this MoBo be a better option? It was only $10 extra. Now my build consists of: MoBo: ASUS P8PZ68-V LE Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer PSU...

    Using a wireless card or Ethernet connection?

    Is using a wireless card just as stable for gaming as using a wired connection? I am upgrading to Fiber optical internet now that it is available on my street and I wondered if I should use the old wireless card from my old PC or if I should use a wired connection for gaming.

    Gaming monitor question...

    I have it in my head that I need a 2ms monitor to really take advantage of what my new build will have to offer. I am having a hard time finding a 2ms in a decent price range. Do you guys think it would be ok to go with a 5ms monitor for gaming? I suppose it might not make a huge difference...
