Hey all,
I put together this build with a lil help but I am still not sure as to what MB I should get.
This is the one I am thinking of buying
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L Rev. 2.0 LGA775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard Retail ($90)
But I people keep telling me to get Abit or Asus and if I want to spend some more get DFI or Foxconn...and I am pretty sure I want to get sli compatibility also...can anyone recommend a good motherboard to buy? Right now I'm at about $1030 and I would def spend more (not over $200 for the board) for a worthwhile MB...
any advice? Thanks alot
