Thanks very much for the encouraging reply. Much appreciated Azreal.
yup me too ... suffering from a bad case of fanboyitis.
awsome replies, thanks yall'z
since you like Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander give Planetary Annihilation a try made by a bunch of same people,
I also recommend against Asrock. Better off with MSI. Asrock uses the cheapest components they can get away with.
