well i am making my own computer off of sites like pricewatch and i see alll these great deals.....but are they? thats why i want advice from peple who actually know stuff and can compare mobos either i would buy this one -->http://www.econopc.com/applications/search/itemdetails.asp?sku=BBPCXP1700

or maybe this one-->http://www.econopc.com/applications/search/itemdetails.asp?sku=BBECXP1700

please take a look and help me out. the first one is something i never heard of it is a 830LR mobo

the second one is ecs they both seem good to me but im worried about quality. If they both suck ill probably go with something decent like i hear so much about asus mobos. well thats what is in my sony computer so i assume it is quality. but they are much more expensive. NEED SOME INPUT HERE!! anything welcome:burn:
 
If you are building a overclocking pc those boards are not very good, the power supply is low quality as well as the heatsink and fan.
If you are just going to use the pc at default settings the ecs one would probably be ok.

There are some very good motherboards around for overclocking that do not cost alot.
The shuttle ak31 is a good board for $80.
 
If it fits your budget, the EPoX 8KHA+ is US$105 shipped over at pricewatch (search for epox and KT266A). It's what I've got, and I seldom see people disappointed by it (other than UnseenMenace).
