and dont forget dual boot is a must if u into some heavy modding ^^ Most ASUS and Gigabyte have it...
about foxconn...i literally check my components, and also have a closer look on my dead HD 4670 before baking it in to the oven hoping it would revive again (lol).. seems like most of it made with foxconn parts, im not saying the vital part, but the connectors, IO ports, and some IC is made by foxconn..lol...put that aside, ASUS and Gigabyte are known for their quality assurance..it's juz no gigabyte for me after the GPU (HD 4670 fails and there's no return back policy..im still pissed at that...
