Yeah, I figured that if I did want to play games with it, I'd need a video card and maybe update from the stock cooler. Maybe try some slight overclocking to see what happens.
I checked out some different MB brands like Asus, Intel, Gigabyte, and MSI, but for the money, the Asrock had more features that I wanted (lots of Sata ports, UEFI, USB 3, a PCI slot, etc.).
The only thing you might consider is popping the RAM up to 16GB. It sounds stupid I know but RAM prices will never be cheaper and that will give that nice CPU all the RAM it will ever need.
