Which Motherboard?

CBrooksC · 23 Feb 2011 at 09:41

I've decided to get a micro board because I only require 1 pci express and perhaps another for a sound card but which out of these two should I get, On the more expensive one I have to sacrifice 2 USB ports for some other stuff. Is it worth it for 120g more? Also what does the 760g or 880g mean?
The board is for gaming and college work, I'm getting the AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.10GHz processor for it. If you guys have a suggestion for a different motherboard that would also be great!

Thanks

The 'g' 760g or 880g means onboard graphics.
I'd choose carefully with one of these boards. Some (not all) boards have put the sata ports in an awkward place (as in you may not be able to use them if you install a large graphics card in the PCI-E slot)

Hmm, Would you recommend a different motherboard?
