Buying a processor

Well how does this mobo look?

Looks good. You might want to get something with SATA II though, since it's taking over harddrives at the moment. Other than that its' great.

What do you mean by "its taking over your harddrives at the moment"?

SATA II drives are getting more and more popular, and they are faster. they are the new standard basically.

Thats an awesome MoBo - its known as the "overclockers board" as it has soooo many unristricted settings that you can overclock!
I have one in one of my boxes - never had a problem with it - well i did with the first one.....but that was an overclocking issue ;) .


A good choice mate!

Oh, well I'm quite satisfied with what I've gotten so far in terms of searching for the mobo :D Much cheaper :p

how's that one? (Of course I'd have to make sure it's compatible with all the other stuff on my inventory)

EDIT: lol Nokia thanks :D but I'm not really planning on overclocking, don't you need really good cooling for that? I get careless on airflow sometimes

I'd go with the ASUS over the epox... 4 compared to 6 usbs, and ASUS is a better brand.

hehe I kinda figured that because of the prices :p I wanted to get a DFI LanParty (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136151) but too expensive for my liking, pretty good for cable management though

but which mobos do you reccommend?

The LanParty's are amazing. I have one, and have friends who have had the older generations of them. Overall, they are really good, hard to go wrong with.

I haven't worked with anything less than a Lan Party lately, as most of my friends have more money than me, and buy the best of the best.

yeh but I heard one of the RAID drivers are pretty buggy, my brother had to format about 3 different time when using that driver, he had to switch it..
