recommend me a motherboard!

[chrisbell17]

After finding this forum ive decided that when i get paid again im gonna do some modding to my pc, without getting into that too much on this section i just wanted to know what motherboard you would recommend that isnt too expensive (£) and has very good overclocking. I need a AM2.

Cheers

a little more info would be helpful. Do you know what RAM you want? SLI capable, Crossfire capable or only going to use 1 video card? and maybe how many extra cards you'll put in, I.E. network if you dont like the mobo's internet, or sound card. If you can answer those questions we can probably find exactly what you want.

if you're switching to Intel, I heartily suggest the Asus P5N32.
If you're not switching to Intel, I heartily suggest switching to Intel.

How come I'm the only one that likes MSI?

[rakuza]

i like msi but i wouldnt buy my motherboard from them but the graphic cards are a very nice quality versonlly i like a evga board with a e4400 overclocked to 3.0ghz

ASUS are good, Gigabyte are equaly good, i woild go for an ggabyte mainly becuase of the BIOS backup feature, or DUAL bios rather, sooooo good if you naff the bios flash.
