ncboy20 Posted May 21, 2005 CID Share Posted May 21, 2005 I am planning to build my own computer, but I would like ask one question, which motherboard better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted May 21, 2005 CID Share Posted May 21, 2005 I haven't built my own computer yet, but you need to know more than that. For example your CPU, memory and motherboard all need to be compatible with each other. Also your CPU and fan/heat sink need to be compatible. You should write down everything first. Make a list of what you want and make sure each part is compatible with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest helloimtim Posted May 21, 2005 CID Share Posted May 21, 2005 I just got done with mine. Got a barebones system from www.cpusolutions.com. That was the powersupply mother board and cpu. I went with the asus motherboard and atholon cpu. Running dual drives this computer just smokes. You will learn allot. Have any more questions feel free to ask.........

junkieXL Posted May 21, 2005 CID Share Posted May 21, 2005 I've used Gigabyte Mobo's for some time now, & will highly recommend them; good stuff for short money & no hassle installation...Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M with an AMD Sempron3100 for about 130 bucks, wahooo great prices & all stuff in stock at http://www.tigerdirect.com/ -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grambler Posted May 21, 2005 CID Share Posted May 21, 2005 I would recomend ASUS or GIGABYTE. I have one of each running with no problems. Try to stay away from cheap MB's and other parts like ECS, you get what you pay for. Look at www.newegg.com and read alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PeePs Posted May 23, 2005 CID Share Posted May 23, 2005 I've always thought about building my own computer, but never actually went through with it. Next year im going to college and i just might want to build myself a gaming computer . If i do build my own computer my plan is to get a ****** *** case to save $$$ and invest the saved money in better parts! Who needs their computer to look good when its smokin fast inside .
