Hello.
I'm currently suffering with an ASRock motherboard which arrived riddled with various problems that I'd rather forget about and I finally have the money available to replace it. I'm looking for a robust, reliable motherboard which won't let me down no matter how many long hours I spend gaming with it. I don't use SLI and I don't OC my components but I want both my music and games to sound as good as possible.
These might be somewhat naive requirements but honestly I don't know much about motherboards and what to look for in them, all I know is what I want and I've stated what I want from a motherboard above. I'll take as many suggestions as I can get and pick the one that seems like it's the safest bet. The only real requirement is that it must be an AM3+ motherboard as I can only afford to replace the motherboard and get another OEM copy of Windows 7 (or perhaps even Windows 8, I'll be looking into it while I wait), I cannot afford to wait until I can afford to upgrade to an i-Series processor as I am at my wits end with the problems my current motherboard is giving me.
Thanks for any and all replies I get, hopefully I'll have my answer before too long
