I'm a newbie to hardware things and would like to buy a new PC. I'm currently stuck on which motherboard should I choose.

My only options are:
1.) Asus P5QPL-AM ( http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P [...] templete=2 )
2.) MSI G41M4-F ( http://www.msi.com/index.php?func= [...] od_no=1748 )

Which of the two should I buy?

As long as you don't plan on anything more than mild overclocking, both should be fine basic motherboards (Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express x16 1.1). Too bad you can't get something a bit better and probably less expensive like the Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L.

Thanks for the response.

I'm not in the US so I have to choose the best available, unfortunately only those two when I look their specs.

I won't OC too.

If they cost the same , I would go with the MSI.

May I know why you would choose MSI?

The MSI G41M4-F is the cheaper one.

Because it has better Ethernet and sound controllers. Other than that I see no differences between the Asus and the MSI. They both are low-end motherboards that do the job.
