Hi Guys,

I recently purchased an AMD Athlon X2 BE-2400 Brisbane 2.3GHz processor and am needing some advice on which motherboard to get. For a little info on the PC I am going to building, it is basically a budget PC I can use for school, so I am not looking to make it a media center or anything. I will most likely get a dedicated video card later on. What motherboard do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

the 780G chipset is a very good choice for a low-cost motherboard. i picked one up for $60, and it's quite full-featured. pci-express 2.0, eSATA, HDMI out, and some other cool features. definitely not stuff you're used to seeing on such a cheap board.
