Case i already have not the one i want but will do for now

AMD Llano A6-3500 2.40GHz (Socket FM1) APU Processor £59.99

Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)

Sony Optiarc AD-7280S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

Samsung Spinpoint F4 320GB Hard Drive System Drive

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB For Storage


So now im looking for mini ITX motherboard but cant decide which one to go with the cpu i have chosen for this build.

Any item with out a price are items i already have as spare parts i can use in this build.

Also im looking to go Pico psu if i can find one at a decent price 120watt or 150watt as i want a low power usage system Like to idle around 20watts.

This motherboard can be had for around £70 if you shop around:

There is one more if you want wifi (What the Asus has over the gigabyte and Asrock) and thats the ZOTAC A75-ITX but once again, that retails at £110ish.

The gigabyte board is a very good board, I have had mixed reports on the Asus, very good board when its working but have had a few reports of a few RMAs taken place.

Thanks not sure i want to mess around trying to get a good working Asus board but will look at the Zotac first before i decide.
 
Just re-read my post and apologise. The Asrock board was the one that I have read with the RMA issues. I have not had a single report of the Asus Deluxe that has not been really good so far.

To be honest I'm looking at the A6-3500 on the gigabyte board.
I know if my home router could handle sending out a strong enough signal for a wi-fi board then I'd choose the Asus board for the extra £30 (it looks like I'm going to have to use homeplugs)

Sorry for any confusion caused.

A good write-up found on the wi-fi boards are here : http://techreport.com/articles.x/21743/1
 
I still cant decide about which motherboard to get out of these 3 boards

Asrock A75M-ITX

Asus F1A75-I DELUXE Motherboard

GA-A75N-USB3

First i thought Asus which is £30 more than the other 2 boards but now i cant decide anyone got any of these 3 boards any good ?
I have just ordered my other stuff Including my very first ssd m4 64gig to go in this build so just hope there as good as people say.
 
I have the Asus board running with the same chip and 8gb ram. It is a nice board although I havent overclocked mine at all as I am using it for a HTPC everything runs fine at stock.

I don't really know enough to comment how it compares to the other boards but I can recommend it.

You should also factor in the asus comes with a mini keyboard/mouse remote which would save you few quid on buying something else for it and it works quite well. The mouse is not the best, it's like moving it around with arrow keys, but as I hardly ever have to use it thats fine for me.
