Title: help me find a motherboard (please!!)
Post by: jacobia jacob on October 03, 2009, 06:56:20 AM

ok so i've been looking for a motherboard but it seems like every time i find one that has what I'm looking for it gets really terrible reviews about it breaking all the time. i'm looking for a am3 board with crossfire support and decent onboard video, preferably for under $150ish but i can go a little over that if i really have to. i also dont want something thats gonna be terrible quality and have issues all the time. i'm gonna keep looking but i'm going to my grandparents today so i might not have much time before i leave.  :help:

nothing wrong with this one and asus boards are rock solid.

looks great except for lack of onboard video. i'm kinda gathering money as i go along and want a running machine as soon as possible so onboard would be nice (upgrade to better card later), but my bday and xmas are both coming up and maybe i could convince someone to give me an early gift in the form of a graphics card. if so, that looks perfect

edit: lol i forgot about tigerdirect. found some, opinions?

Out of those 3, I would get the gigabyte.
