Heads sorta spinning a tad so many chipsets out there and with no real up to date info saying whats the best for what I'm after.
Basically I'm building a new pc for my bro that will proberly become a media center under the TV in time which is why the need for matx.
Budget is kinda tight mainly looking at the nsk2480 case by antec but motherboard wise...
-Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD X300 chip i think?
-Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H, GeForce 7100
Or possibly one of the G33 boards.
I dont really want to go above £55 for a board but I'd like to it to be powerful enough to play some games cnc 3 maybe modest settings. Then later on down the line bang in a blu ray drive and under the tv it goes. I would up the budget if the bang per buck justified it and wasnt like £120 for a motherboard with geforce 4mx built in ><.
Whats the best matx board going for gaming with integrated graphics?
I heard a bit about these G45 boards coming but when ?
Thanks for any help,
fishy
Rest of the spec,
2 gigs 5300 ram
Core 2 Duo E4500
380w PSU
