This is my first build and it will be with a 2500+ xp mobile. I don't want to Oc the shit out of it right away, as I need to learn the basics of PC assemply first but I am just not sure. I can buy the Asus A7N8X E Deluxe directly from a private home-based company for $144 Canadian (After all expenses) with a 3 year warranty, or I can order an Abit NF7 S Rev2 for $164 after all expenses, but it doesn't have integrated Gigabit Lan, and to buy an ethernet adapter would cost around 50-60 bucks I believe. As to the Epox, I don't even know I can get those in Canada. Basically, I want a board that is user friendly, easy to work with and overclock and expandable so can upgrade things as I go. I am so lost. I feel like I am digging myself into a hole here. Gad...
