I have the same motherboard in my build; I built in July i will warn you once you setup your pc don't install the gigabyte APP-center or any of APPS as part of that CD that come as a CD-ROM with the board .Because of the fact that at random times it changes your pc time randomly to 12/31/1899. Just a friendly warning. Also that gigabyte motherboard has a built in Ethernet port so you don't have to have the extra Intel EXPI9301CTBLK 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI-Express x1 Network Adapter.
