Mobo Decision =\

hey guys... need a little help picking out a mobo... heres pretty much what im looking for. =\

ASUS mobo
PCI Express support
able to use http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146545

umm.. yeah.. also maybe if you guys could find me a processor to pair up with it ^_^ intel plx

just paste links from Newegg on the product info :P

any help is appreciated ^_^

There arn't many Asus-Intel-PCI-E motherboards supporting DDR1. The majority are DDR2. If your PC is primarily for gaming, why not buy AMD? Also, whats your maxium budget? The first mobo that came to mind, and should suit your needs is an Asus P5VD1-X. It supports SKT 775 Single+Dual Core processors up to 1066fsb, Dual Channel DDR1 400, PCI Express or AGP 8X, and SATA with RAID 0, 1. Not bad for only $57. I've read a few UK user reviews and overall it seems a decent/stable board, and it won't break the bank. I'd be cautious ordering from Newegg though. It seems a lot of customers are receiving DOA's (proly a bad batch so I'd phone them first).

Since you havn't stated a but I'd suggest buying the best (compatable) skt 775 processor you can afford

Edit: If you havn't already bought the Crucial RAM and are adamant to use INTEL. I suggest posting your budget and we'll re-spec you a motherboard, processor, and DDR2 RAM.

hmm... kk.. maybe i should change what im looking for then..

--- Mobo ---
Price Range - $1-$180
Asus? I dont know... a decent gaming mobo following these guidelines i guess..
Supports PCI Express
Supports DDR2

--- Processor ---
Price Range - $1-250
AMD or Intel, doesnt matter now
Speed - 3Ghz or Higher? (Suggest a speed )

--- Memory ---
Price Range - $1-150
Manufacturer - Anybody really...(Crucial preferred?)
Capacity - 1GB
Type - Whatever pin number that is supported by the mobo (see above...)

Basically this is the main stuff that im looking for... Also, I'll need another power supply to be able to support all this stuff along with the video card (ATI Radeon x850)

Umm... yeah... The price ranges will vary, since im only 16 and work for my money (I work at Panera Bread >.< *shudder*)... So yeah.. i figure with the price ranges i put, ill be able to buy atleast one part every two weeks.. (i get paid bimonthly)

Any help is appreciated, and definitely any help is appreciated ^_^
