Windows 7 - new build again:)

after a rather fiery end to my last pc i finally scrapped the money together for new parts.

new build will include
i7 2600
intel dp67bg motherboard
2x4gb ddr 3 1333
...and thats it just now everything else i already had.

they arrive tomorrow so i'm in a rather cheery mood but sadly will have to wait for a new graphics card, but i plan on either 1 6950/70 or 2 6870's.

just wondering though if anyone knows how good those intel boards are, this will be my first one, i know it's made by asus with intel written on, i've read some rather impressive reviews but i do so prefer a view from someone not doing a review.

currently modding a case which will be it's new home, but that won't be finished for a few weeks, or whenever i actually get around to finishing it at least.

but i've got those upgrade jitters now, did i make the right choice did i get the right bits...arrggg i really hate the waiting i will have to do to see if it's even going to work as well as i hope it will

oh the case i am modding, has a clear plastic area on the side door, now i had planned to replace that with a mesh but as i've not done it yet i can ask now if it's a good idea or not.

will it screw my air flow or will it help...
