I am building a relatively inexpensive computer for basic use (internet research, word processoring, some photo and video editing, and gaming). I am trying to build my new system withing a budget, so I like the idea of these combo deal motherboards/cpu through newegg. But, since this is my first build I would like to hear some opinions on these choices.

Also, I know the AMD x2 cpu is not as good as the core 2 duo, but I think I would rather save a few hundred dollars and buy a nicer graphics card.

Anyways, I would appreciate any comments and opinions on these motherboard choices. Thanks.

1. Biostar tforce 550 am2 nvidia nforce 550 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813138026

2. Asus m2npv-vm am2 nvidia geforce 6150 micro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131014

3. JetWay jm26gtm-3sp am2 nvidia ng6100-405 micro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813153055



Also, this is my first build, but would any of these boards be able to mildly overclock the cpu.


Thanks.

My vote is for the biostar based soley on the fact it is not microATX, but that is just me.

New has a combo deal with the biostar with the amd 3600x2 1.9ghz 65nm. combo they wanted $149. 8O for the combo which is a super good deal. the motherboard is retail. the cpu is Oem. so you would have to get a HSF for it.

i cant find the link. we'll the item number for both of them. but i am o na budget and i am going to get it. its a very good deal its like paying $100 for the mobo and $50 for the cpu. here is the link for both of them

needed to edit this here is the link for all 6 combo's with the amd 3600x2
