I have owned this for about 3 weeks now and I didn't get it built until about 1 week ago. I was going to purchase an Asus but this was the only one that had the new 790 chipset and the capability to do both the AMD 64 series and the new phenom CPU. Very user friendly and the options on this MB are amazing. Just waiting for the new Phenom chips to drop in price!
