Hi all,

I want to buy a computer. I already by Phenom II X4 965 processor and need a good motherboard which is supported by this. I like the GIGABYTE MA78GM-S2H A780G, i heard that the performance is little difference, also the difference in quality and workmanship. Please suggest some good supported motherboard for Phenom II X4 965 BE.

I picked the cheapest motherboard Newegg offered, the MSI X58M, in addition to a higher end option (ASUS P6T). There is just no way the i7 920 can fight with the cheapest Phenom II X4 965 BE configuration, but if you are well with a Micro-ATX motherboard next the cheapest i7 920 setup is $37 left from the more expensive 965 BE combo from Newegg. You in fact don't give up the capacity to do multi-GPU with the X58M (it supports both CF and SLI), it yet has six DIMM slots and software SATA RAID support. However, if not you had to buy today, I wouldn't worry too much concerning trying to construct a cheap 920.

I had buy Phenom II X4 955 a few months ago we recommended that the AM2+ platform be the superior option given the lower prices of DDR2 memory and little performance difference between the two. Though DDR3 pricing has fall significantly since then, and we now experience that those looking to put up a new computer should think an AM3 motherboard as an alternative.

Without look at some online shop sites I would speak that Asus and Gigabyte do the most excellent boards, you insincerity go far mistaken with these. You will desire Gb LAN, at least 6 USB's, no onboard video, an integral overclocking BIOS program and very good heat control. if you are in the USA. Spend at least £60/$130 on it.
