    EDIT: I've already placed my order so nvm!

    I'm happy with my case, hard drives, displays and gfx (gtx 660ti), but everything else is a little dated.
    I will be doing a lot of video editing and gaming. I mostly edit short clips with not many effects, and I rarely hit 4 gigs usage overall, so 8 gig is just fine for now (I think).
    Main thing I'm not sure of is the mobo. I want to stick with Asus just because my last one was rock solid. I'm happy with the 400 euro price, but any recommendations would be welcome.
    As I mostly game on a projector with a res of 1280*800, I don't need huge firepower, but my current cpu (q8400 c2q 2.66ghz) is a bottleneck for a lot of games even at this res.
