I will like to build a computer to run Autocad Civil3D 2010.I ma thinking of usign the Q9300 processor and would like to know what motherboard would work best for my application

 

[king game]

the processor is around 180-200$

a I5 - 750 would be a better choice but if you want to keep your processor

mobo - INTEL G45(DG45ID) DDR2 this would be good
or
INTEL P45(DP45SG) DDR3 this is also good

^+1... go with the Intel Core i5 750

Here is my motherboard of choice for the E.O.L. LGA 775... ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

I completely agree with the above two posts. You should absolutely not be even considering an old LGA 775 chip for a new system, especially for CAD type work. An i5 750 will smoke that old Q9300.
