I am building my first budget gaming PC and I am undecided between two motherboards. Here are the components I have so far:

-AMD Athlon x4 760k
-Nvidia GTX 650
-Cooler Master Hyper T2
-Sentey® 625w psu
-120GB SSD
-2 1TB HDDs

I am undecided between the following two motherboards, and need some recommendations:

Option A: ASUS Micro ATX DDR3 2133 A55BM-E
Option B: ECS Micro ATX DDR3 1066 A55F2-M4

Which one shoild I go with? I purchased both of them, and I will be returning the other one.

get this one and dont mind the card is a poor one so if u can then get a gtx 750 also get a good 450 watt psu from seasonic or rosewill capstone the senety is a crappy psu and you will not need anything higher than 450 watt.

If it's between Asus and ECS and you're not worried about price, Asus has the better reputation for building quality motherboards, and they also have generally very good customer support as well. Also the Asus supports higher speed ram than the ECS does, get 1600MHz ram instead of being stuck with 1066. That would be my recommendation.
