Heya Bro's! As you know the rule of thumb for technology is that it goes out of date every 6 months or so. That being said and the fact that my new job lands me a bit more in the bank, I am looking to upgrade my PC.
I am going for a new MoBo but I am torn between these two, anyone have any opinions?:
ASUS Sabertooth 990fx
And
ASUS Crosshair V Formula
I went with the AMD platform due to budgetary restraints and the fact that a few friends of mine are Intel fanboys, even though I built their computers using AMD...anyways.
I am planning on putting a AMD FX-8150 Zambezi in the board, RAM isn't my concern just yet as I can use the old RAM that I have from my previous build to hold me over until I can put maybe 16 or 32GB in it.
I have a nice CPU cooler at home, still in box CORSAIR H100 that I am planning on using.
I am also entertaining the thought of a new Full Tower Case. My previous Thermaltake Spedo Advance has run its course sadly, or I may recycle it for a spare media server or something if I am bored. Anyways, here are the two cases I am looking at, both Thermaltake. I just like Thermaltake but all suggestions are welcome! :
Thermaltake Armor Revo+ Black
And Dos!
Thermaltake Chasar MK - I
All of these parts will come together over the course of 2 or more paychecks obviously. I am still considered poor. XD

Any input on the parts would be welcome. Negative or positive.
Thanks Bro's!
