The board im looking at

would that be ok? its only for a media center sort of thing to play movies on

Thank Ryan :)
 
Here is a link to 6 of those cheapo motherboards currently being sold by NewEgg. I went and looked at the customer reviews of 5 of them and they all seemed to have the user/reviewer saying much the same thing. They mostly only support 95Watt cpus and they don't last but a year.
CPU Socket Type : AM3
 
Thansk for the replys =D

i forgot about the PSU wat! i found the Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 Supports CPU up to 125 W dont want to spend much at all as i said it was just stuff in a box that i want to reuse, as for the ram it says HYPERAM MEMORY thats it really not much else lol
 
In post #1 you said the board you were looking at is: Biostar A780L3C Socket AM. That was the one I was referring to that is only 95W TDP. You switched boards on me.
