Sup everyone, I would like to know what i should get on my next PC, i dont know much about motherboards but i want to know what a motherboards does exactly and what i should get. Below is the list and price offered.
Here is the screen shot... as you can see the prices are next to em... i dont want to go up too high but tell me what you think and what i should get.
The computer will be a Core 2 Duo E6600, 2GB ram DDR2(might go even higher), ATI Radeon x1300 512mb video card... this is kinda like the overall specs of the desktop... Im going to use it mainly for gaming, online business, chatting, video editing, video burning and more. So tell me what is best for me. Thanks
I would get the ASUS P5B-E($121). It's a great motherboard, and(if you're into it) overclocker. If you plan on gaming with this system, you'll need a better graphics card than the X1300. Try to get at least a Radeon X1650(X1900 preferrably), or GeForce 7600GT(7900GT preferrably). GL
