I am really glad Asus is going to RMA your motherboard for you and that you would have a great backup system also. Please just let me know when you are ready and we can continue.

Yep that is fine as I am now familiar with everything it would make it easier on both of us.

Thanks. I really appreciate your help. The parts will be here on Tuesday, so I'll post as soon as they get here. Sometime around noon most likely.

Also, do you prefer building the motherboard first (putting in the CPU, heatsink, RAM, and video card) or do you prefer installing the motherboard into the case then putting in all the components?

I prefer to put everything on the mother CPU, memory, heatsink outside of the case then mount the motherboard. There are a few exceptions depending on your heatsink mounting. If it must screw into the motherboard then you may want to wait to mount the motherboard first.

P.S. - Please keep an eye on this thread, as I'm working on this right this moment and need to go to bed once I'm done (I work the night shift lol). Thanks for being understanding & helpful!

To get the heatsink you can start the system for a minute and let the TIM warm up. That should make it easy to separate the heatsink from the fan once you shut the system down.
Make sure to wipe all the old TIM off before applying new. Then follow the same instructions above.
