Need A CPU and Motherboard Combo...

[hell_storm2004]

Hi Guys,

I came over to my hometown this weekend and my sis is bugging me for a cheap CPU and motherboard config. I told her about i3 540 and a cheap H57 motherboard. She does not need a GPU as of now. Could let me know about a good mobo to go along with it.

This MSI one is a good choice

I am not looking for a Intel chipset. Nothing less than crap they are.

Edit: Thanks Maziar for the link.

One more thing... how is the graphics driver on the Intel 13 540? Is it any good?

Its weak for gaming,but aside from that,its a good card for daily tasks.
