This is for my very FIRST build. These three boards seem to be the best for my price range.
Asus P5qL Pro Lga 775
Giga GA-EP45-UD3p
DFI DK P45 TRS2plus
Mated to an intel pent e5200 Wolfdale2.5 65W dual core.
Eventually I will get a nice quad when theyre cheaper.. My primary concern is the build itself.. I know its gonna be nerve wracking till I finally see everything working.. If I have to trouble shoot, the more idiot proof the board is the better.
Price, is an issue,the asus has a clear lead there..
Features , durability, OC ability... Im a noob OC. My last comp was an AGP AMD that was like a 1.8 ghz n I got it to 2.1 fiddling around with the bios. but I want to learn, So ease of bios is an issue..
I am not gonna be an expert, but am trying to put together the best value gaming rig I can< mechwarrior living legends mod for crysis> I am gonna get a nice little aftermarket cooler and try to squeeze every bit out of my system..
I cant figure out from all the reviews etc just which one of these boards is best for my noobish needs... Any and all imput appreciated..
