Specs
GIGABYTE G1. Sniper M3 motherboard with Z77 chipset (microATX)
Intel 3rd gen CPU i5 3570
8 Gig of RAM (2 x4GB) Ripjaws X series
Primarary Drive SSD Corsair Force Series 120 gig
Secondary HD Hitachi 1 Terabyte
Windows 7 Ultimate

I know this is not a real gamers computer but I got a great deal on the CPU and MB and compared to what I have it is about 40% faster. ;)
The board has some great features being a microATX
The i5 3570 can be OC easily but we will just have to wait and see.


Any thoughts about the motherboard or CPU

Here is a general review of the board. LINK (http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/439138/Gigabyte-G1.Sniper-M3-A-gamers-motherboard/)

Looks fine. I don't see any problems at all. Put a decent video card in there and you should be able to play any game at max settings.

Just make sure the Hard Drive(s) you are buying are for 6 Gbps !
