Hey all,

I am making a new PC next month and have decided instead of selling all the old parts of my old PC, ill scale it down into a:

Fractal Design Core 1000
Fractal Design Core 3000
Fractal Design Define Mini

Not 100% sure what one yet.


My current PC specs are:

CPU: Intel Q9450
MB: Nvidia 790i ULTRA
GPU: 9800 GTX
RAM: 4x1GB Corsair XMS3
PSU: Corsair 520
CPU Cooler: H50

Right, what I am looking for is a mATX board that supports my Q9450 which is socket 775 and has 4 RAM sockets.

Is the Gigabyte G41M Combo Intel G41 the best MB that supports these above requirements?

If you can find the best board that supports this, ill reward cookies.

Thanks

Evoss

Just noticed this board has: x2 1.5v DDR3 DIMM Sockets, x2 1.8v DDR2 DIMM Sockets

I need one to support 4 sticks of DDR3.
 
Found this:

Gigabyte GA-EG41MFT-US2H G41 Socket 775 DVI VGA HDMI Out 8 Channel Audio mATX Motherboard

Opinions?
 
I've got a Gigabyte G41 based board. Very pleased.

I dont know anything about that board but in my experience you can't go wrong with gigabyte.

Is that the original one I linked? I currently have 4x1GB RAM modules, so I need 4 sockets.
