Hi guys, new here and new to computer enthusiasm. Should let you all know I've only every build one comp and that was 4 years ago, so I guess a lot has changed.
I'm building one. I have a Q6600 processor and Corsair XMS CAS 4-4-4-12 800MHz 2 x1GB RAM, 320GB WD HDD AAKS 16MB Cache, Scythe Mine CPU cooler and an ATi 3870HD.
Now my BIG problem is choosing a mobo!! Everywhere I go I get different suggestions - this ones buggy, this ones badly build, this one doesnt OC well etc.
So lets set the record straight. I doub't I'll OC for a while, so that doesn't matter. I want a MoBo that supports all of the above. Imdon;t need DDR3 support. I want a well made one with a decent BIOS.
I have had a few suggestions MSI NEO2-FR (which is my fav atm), Gigabyte DS3R (UK vers.) and the Abit iP35 Dark Raider.
Please help me choose one near enough in this price bracket.
Much appreciated guys, thanks!
