Hey , I'm getting a custom built PC.
Here are the major components:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($99.99)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($66.98)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($93.22)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.98)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card (SC) ($174.99)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 )
Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($79.99 )
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer ($15.99)
But I've been reading some threads and reviews about this MOBO ....and it doesn't seem like it's the best choice. I heard it causes some problems when under heavy load,and isn't ideal for overclocking at all.
Does anyone know a much better alternative, AMD-based motherboard?
(Compatible with the build). Something that isn't too pricey. Maybe about 50 more bucks...
It only has 3 stars on Newegg.
I looked up the g46 ver. Will this be a better choice?or are they almost the same?...And is it even compatible with my system?
Please let me know, ASAP.
Thank you!
