Not that there is anything wrong with Asus MOB's but can't find any custom builders that use Gigabyte. They all use Asus. Can anybody recommend a Gigabyte builder??

is a custom build shop as well as a seller of computer parts.

They have some systems listed that use gigabyte parts. I have ordered a few parts from them. They would probably sell you something like bare bones system or a motherboard combo or a full system, assemble it or just test parts like hard drives and power supplies. They are not as large as newegg. Most of these custom shops charge just a little more and are not that friendly to people that overclock and damage parts and then expect a refund.

They dont sell ASROCK last I checked.

In my experience using Gigabyte boards they're pretty stable. I've built a handful of systems using their product, and only had one I had to RMA. They aren't the most feature rich but aren't lacking either. I prefer MSI boards now for features and reliability. I don't use Asus anymore. To expensive. Back in the day I was Abit promoter and they were all I used. Sadly, they're gone now.
