I had to return the Gigabyte mobo due to serious defects.
Otherwise, everything as worked perfectly.
I couldn't get it to hibernate, but that seems fairly common.
Do you need 32 GB RAM ? -- I find 8 GB is more than enough,
except when emerging LO + FF using tmpfs (they have to use a drive instead) ;
you sb able to get 1866 GHz memory : mine is overclocked at 2133 GHz .
I like to have optical back-ups in case Earth's poles reverse (grin),
so the DVD drive will get used a couple of times a year.
Your list omits an SSD drive : they're much faster than HDD,
tho' you should have one of those too for back-ups etc.
