Hey guys,
I am building a PC with following configuration :
Processor : AMD FX 8350
Motherboard : Asus M5A97 R 2.0
RAM : Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R
GPU : Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB DDR5 OC
SMPS/PSU : Corsair VS550 550 Watts
Cabinet : Cooler Master K380
Hard Drive : Seagate 1TB 5400 RPM
120 MM fans : 4 + 1 (free with cabinet)
My budget is around 650-700$
My system usage will be focused on playing games, a little video and audio editing, programming and development and Media Entertainment.
I have already purchased the Processor, GPU, HDD, SMPS, and the RAM, and in a huge dilemma about the motherboard.
Following are the motherboards i am thinking over to buy :
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
Asus M5A97 R2.0
Asus M5A97 Evo 2.0
One that fits best to my budget : features is Asus M5A97 R2.0, is that a good motherboard?
I don't want to overclock the system, but want to use the ideal features to its maximum.
Is Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 okay too? (its would just be a cheaper choice for me but i dont want to loose any features)
Or should I buy Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 instead? i will have to increase the budget slightly only if its worth it.
So far, all the knowledge i gathered from tomshardware was really help, so thank you guys.
