I couldn't find a Z77 anywhere. So, I'm picking up the Z97 Extreme 4. I decided to upgrade my cpu to 4790k, and a new cooler is necessary. The ever awesome Jim Roseberry is getting it all together and shipping it to me (my 2nd Studiocat build!). All I have to do is wire up the power supply and toss my RAM in. Then there's another stinkin' clean install - I just did it 2 weeks ago... Yuuuuuukkkk.
But on the upside - this is going to make for a much better studio experience. Thanks to all for helping me through the jungle.
