£75 to spend

Mr Blonde · 28 Apr 2009 at 18:05

I'm on the look for a new motherboard and graphics card for the following system : Asrock 4CoreDual (Socket 775), Core2 6400, 2GB of ddr2, ATI X1950pro AGP, Enermax Liberty 620w.

The XFX GTS 250 512MB for £100 would seem to fit the bill for the graphics card, but I'm stumped on the motherboard front. Raid 0 support is a must but overclocking ability is not a big priority.

Are there any half decent boards for £75 that will cover what I need? I don't mind trying a 'B' grade one either.

Thanks

What about This or This

Thanks for the input. I did see both of them but was unsure as to whether either of them was any good.

I'll probably just give one of them a punt and cross my fingers.

No need to go B-grade, get this, definately better than the first one linked to earlier, the 2nd one linked to earlier is prob better board, supports SLI, depends if you want B-grade or new

Raid 0 support is a must

The Gigabyte EP45 DS3 does not support RAID, otherwise this was uppermost in my mind...
