Hi guys, i have £40 pounds to spend on a motherboard for a gaming computer. i have done some research and i have made a list of 10 motherboards that will be compatible with my other hardware, i'd like to know which motherboard you guys would recommend: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141238 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148371 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150444 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140066 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141250 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148094 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143219 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146824 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/147238 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140304 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141599 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140209 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142458 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144454 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143230 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129895 thanks guys, Mubs
thanks mate, can you explain to me the difference between all of these motherboard? im just a bit confused
Option 1: Discontinued item Option 2: MSI G31 chipset mATX board. Solid but basic, cheap. Option 3: nforce 630i chipset. To be avoided. Option 4: Gigabyte P31 chipset mATX board. Another solid board. Option 5: Asus board with nvidia chipset. Neither are desirable for cheap boards. Option 6: Asus board with G31 chipset. Better, but chep Asus boards are still a bit of a grey area. Option 7: See above Option 8: Abit G31 board. Not sure how good this is. Abit have some good and bad products. Option 9: Gigabyte G31 board. Recommended Option 10: Inno3D 7100 chipset. Could do far better Option 11: Gigabyte P31 full size board. Highly recommended. Option 12: MSI 7100 board. COuld do better Option 13: Gigabyte G31 small board. Good, but the P31-S3G in option 11 is better Option 14: Abit 7100 board. See 12 Option 15: As above Option 16: I'm a bit wary of the quality of ASRock Boards. Overall, I'd go with: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141599 This board is from a good manufacturer with a robust chipset, and doesn't have integrated graphics. You don't need integrated graphics for gaming as you have to use a separate PCIe 16x graphics card to get any respectable performance, and if you're into overclocking, integrated graphics will put a stop to that.
