I want to build a computer, but i have little idea of the inside of a computer. Was wondering which motherboard i should get for gaming. Im looking for quality and low price. And ill be doing a lot of video encoding so i would like to get a "bundle" with an AMD cpu cause i heard theyre good for multi-taking. i really dont want to go over 75$. if that is laughable, then recommend one please. Thank you all
u want a board and amd for gaming for 75bucks??? u better save up an intel core 2 duo beats any amd so u could get one of those its perfect 4 multi tasking and gaming just the proc will set u back 200bucks and a good mobo some 150-200 bucks
if your on a tight buget go for a amd soket 939 board and a x2 4200(or higher) cpu, but this will not allow for any future upgrades as amd have stopped support for this platform. if you want to play games on it you will need to get a board with a pci-e x16 slot so you can fit a graphics card and you will also want 1gb of ram(512 absolute min).
Thanks for the reply, i was looking at the 939 socket gigabyte ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128001 ) and its affordable, but how would i go about choosing a case? and what is fsb? Sorry for these questions im real new and learning just the basics, then im off on my own i have a few more questions, but one step at a time. thanks again
The motherboard is a good one, you will have to get a MATX case(enyone you like), the micro atx case is like the size of the HP cases. And also remember to do a calculation of all your parts before you buy, make sure you get all the right stuff to go with that motherboard.
