Hi, I am going to be building my own desktop but I am wondering what motherboard to get. I heard it all depends on what I am wanting to do, and so to answer that question I am wanting to do computer graphics, film editting and some gaming. Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks
 
For Intel, the g43 chipset boards will work fine if you need onboard video; without video, the p45 is still a good choice. For amd, the 780 or 790g chipsets are good for onboard video. I like any of the following board brands: asus, gigabyte, msi, or asrock. Check for hdmi support if you want to play videos on your system.
