heh your probably one of a small group of people that has USB-3 ports on their computer.

The technology was released publicly only just this summer so its only been around and readily available for 3months or so after about a years delay as I understand.

Oh and to run all those USB ports, what sorta power supply are you putting into it? Would be kinda pointless if your computer was underpowered. Heh I still remember my friend whom had an Apple and couldn't plug 4 powered devices at one time into the keyboard despite having the ports.

Oh and since USB is coded into the bios, I hope that the Motherboard supports it. Good luck with the build, just make sure that you cross your T's and dot your I's first and don't end up with a board that doesn't fit your desired needs.

*giggles* well the power supply is an 850w, so in that I think I will live :p

No reason I NEED all of those USB's, they are just sort of a side effect, really I at best have 3-5 items in at once, but who knows down the road what I plug in :p

What you need a 850Watt power supply for Are you running (4) 4 cord CPU's.. and about 16GB of ram..?

quad core i5 3.3 , a 560ti, a 250, 3 hard drives, and currently 8gb ram.

Intentions for within a year: the 250 gets replaced with a 560ti as well, if ram costs on 8gb sticks drop enough adding 2 of those as well

*giggles* my computer has a bit of power to it ^__^
