Post your build, we'll tell you if it's worth it and not.
Ummm... what??? I know next to nothing about any of this so I'll try my best to make sense out of that and post something potentially useful...

Okay...
Overclocking potential. I'm guessing that's fast. Right then I think that's good.

Features-o-rama. Features. Duh. What features should I look for in a motherboard? I hardly know what it is... sorry I'm so hopeless.

Okay something that will hopefully be useful: I am pretty much trying to do a game setup, mostly focusing on graphics and speed. I'm getting Vista for DirectX 10, GeForce 8800 card, 2GB of Kingston HyperX ram, want dual core processing because apparently games will begin to take advantage of that soon, and a good CPU Ghz thing.

Bottom line: I'm trying to build something that is good enough that I won't have to update for awhile, will be able to play beautiful games like Crysis and Huxley and all that, and that's pretty much it...

Oh is the motherboard you mentioned, Zeek, dual processor compatible? I didn't see it on the page. All the stuff I'm looking for up there^ too.
