Say hello to my new Board!

I said previously that i would not be upgrding untill next year, but i could not resist the urge and my wife did not get upset so i got myself this new Motherboard:

MSI DKA790GX Platinum



One more component (Phenom 2 - 940) and my Dragon will be complete.

I will soon retire my K9A Platinum along with my FX-62. Haaa! so much memories!

AMD/ATI =

K9A is still a very nice board, too bad the bios is too small.

wouldn't those Hantsink pipes get in the way of installing a large Video Card? my brother has the 4 PCI-E slot version and he had to move his card down 2 slots because the pipes touched the side of the card.
