Hi

I want to build a computer and just want to finalize some things. I am on a pretty tight budget, around $450-500, so I am looking for a relatively cheap, but reliable mobo for my needs. I won't oc or play any huge games, looking to use dual channel, the E5200, one optical and one hdd.

I was researching and decided upon this board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] &Tpk=eg31m

I just wanted to hear any of your opinions about the board or an even cheaper board.

Thanks

That board should serve you well.

The AMD 780G is a better chipset, but won't work with your E5200.
Nvidia 7100 has better video graphics, however memory is only single channel.

Oh, I was going to get a video card and I read that intel made better cpus for the last few years.
