I'm interested in a cheap ($120 or less maybe?) mobo with integrated video and decent OC ability. I was looking at the 9300/9400 chipset and also the X4500HD. Not for gaming (obviously) but for general HD video use, things like that. I don't need HDMI, DVI is fine. I notice many of them are mATX which is fine also. I'd prefer firewire but it is not a must.
This would be paired with an E5200 for hopefully decent speeds on the cheap.
I was considering maybe the MSI P7NGM, or the EVGA 113-YW-E115-TR (longest name ever?).
I haven't really considered much in the way of AMD solutions, due to wanting the E5200. But I suppose I might if someone can make a case for something like an X3 8450, as they seem to have some nice boards like the HD3300 and such.
Or am I going about this the wrong way? Should I be getting a cheap video card seperately (HD 3450 maybe?) and a decent budget OC motherboard? I'm confused but I need to oder soon, maybe tomorrow, as my current setup is rapidly dying.
