puntoMX Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I would not take an iNTEL board, look at the ASUS or Gigabyte boards; they have some features more that you could like, for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 If you want to build a serious computer (seeing as you're spend top dollar) you'll want to build it on a serious motherboard.I highly recommend the Asus Striker Extreme. You won't find a better motherboard on the current market then this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 $400? That's a bit expensive, don't you think? There's a lot of good motherboards for much cheaper than that, come on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeFiend Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Why would you put a $1,200 processor on a motherboard worth less then that?I think the question should be more like "Why would you pay 3000$ for a computer that'll be worth 1500$ next month?"But yeah, if one's going all-out with high-end parts, why not pick a high-end board too (not that I've even looked at it)... It's not like he's restricting himself much. How about a pair of GeForce 8800 GTX in there too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I think the question should be more like "Why would you pay 3000$ for a computer that'll be worth 1500$ next month?"Next month? How about; When you walk out the door of the shop it’s worth half .Never bought the max, always a step back when it comes to CPUs...But that ASUS board is cool, I like the display on the back to look at when you sit in frond of your PC .
