[QUOTE="foxbenw, post: 890578, member: 115475"] That's interesting re h77. I would never have noticed as it's a client set up, but good to know. I don't know if you are familiar with quietpc, but they sell a pre-built fc08 using the gigabyte ga-h61n-usb3 board. If you look at pictures the port placement is very similar to the asrock one you said. So I would say that it should be ok. Looking at the manuals for the asrock boards on their website, the h61 version says it supports hd4000 but the h67 one doesn't mention it. I don't know if this is true as I don't own them, but if it affects your choice based on cpu preference the layouts are very similar and both have cir headers. (the gigabyte board used by quietpc doesn't have a cir header as they build it for media center). The asus above also has no cir header so you'd need to go for a different receiver than the ones above. Power on from s5 may affect your choice there. 24p on my tv is actually a bit annoying.
