Yet another "please fill out the new build form in the new build section".

Your choices are absolutely HORRID, you should be looking at a Pentium G/H61 setup in that price range. Fill out the form for advice.

by pentium G/H61 do you mean like intel sandy bridge with asus p8h61? if so I have taken your 'recommendation' gladly
thankyou

Pentium G is a CPU series from Intel.

H61 is one of many motherboard chipsets. There are:
H61, H77
Z68, Z77
P67, P77(I think)

Z68 and Z77 are the best. They allow SLI, Crossfire, and overclocking. P67 and P77 also those, but they're a little bit more limited. H61 and H77 are the most limited. No overclocking, no SLI, and no Crossfire. If you need any of those features, I wholeheartedly recommend the Z77 motherboards, since they're only a few dollars more.

oops i dint see your reply when i posted that one ^ thank you for telling me that i now understand what sort of thing to choose but he moving to computer from xbox for gaming so i doubt he'll be needing one of them Z68 doobies anytime soon haha thanks for the support

It is Z77. You missed: H77, Z75 and B75.
