I now own this mobo- MSI x58 pro, I cant take it back, it was a no return shop. I thought I had my research behind me when I got this motherboard. I went to a pc geek site. Got a list of what they felt would be a great pc build, and just followed the list.
I havent built a pc yet. I have replaced the power supply, graphics card, sound card, optical drive. Im not on the ground floor with the inside of the pc. But not any where near the advanced level either.
I was hoping to get better acquainted with a pc, with this build. I am a little more educated already, not quite the ed. I was looking for though.
Since then more information was found, and think I may have made a mistake purchasing it. It seems upon closer look, it is a little slow to boot, and it runs really hot on the northbridge. Also some have said that it has a lot of issues after it is installed. It isnt stable, and shuts off randomly and can continue to do that.
I have purchased the following components with the thought that I was going to use this mobo.
Intel core i7 920 quad-core socket LGA1366, 2.66ghz processor
G-skill 6gb (3x2gb) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Memory
EVGA E-GEFORCE GTX 260 576MHZ 896MB Video card
Sunbeam PSU-HUSH680-us-bl-680w psu
Im not sure I want this mobo after all
Can someone recommend a different mobo, that will be compatible with the components that I have now?
