So far so good...
Got this and installed with the AMD FX-6100 and it's running surprisingly fast. Two things to note: This board does not have any IDE connections. The PC I was upgrading has an older DVD writer and that had to be replaced. Also, not thrilled that Gigabyte tries to trick you into installing some bloatware in their driver CD. The quality of the board is so good that I will overlook it.

Installed easily in my ATX Case
Purchased as part of a kit. I have some boot issues that seem to be associated with the Sapphire 11202-00-20G Radeon HD 7750 Video Card I am using. Re-seating the card seems to help. Future purchases will include on board video. Love the USB 3 ports and the board layout.
