Hi,this is Indrashis....
I'm going to build a new rig soon...I have considered to buy an AMD PHENOM II X4 945 processor....
Right now I'm getting confused about the motherboard....I dont know much about AM2+ and AM3 socket....please suggest me any mid or low range(around 50-65USD) GIGABYTE or ASUSE AM3 motherboard that will be good for the processor
thank u.......
My other system specs are-
16" AOC monitor
2GB DDR3 OCZ RAM
500GB HDD CEGATE
LG DVD Writer
ATI 5770 1GB GDDR5

Spend a little extra on the latest AMD mobo (790FX) so you can upgrade later to other AM3 cpus. DDR2 is on its way out! Don't invest in AM2+ mobos unless you are strapped because your system speed will be maxed out due to the mobo and ram no matter how fast you cpu is.
