| Post subject: | AM3 Mother board |
A friend asked me to look at building him a computer I found two AM3 boards but from reading the reviews every one seams to have miss prints etc and it getting confusing and there issues with both makes but I am not sure how current they are? I need some feed back on these - please or any other suggestion - from experience you never go for a cheap or cheaper MB you always regret it later Asus Crosshair III Formula AMD 790FX (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prod ... rmula.html Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P AMD 790FX (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prod ... -UD5P.html The bits that he already got is a 250 1GB nvidea and a 900 case also what RAM and PSU rating would you go for? - I was thinking of going for OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply - it the same price as the 600w!!! - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prod ...

Mind you if your building on a bit more of a budget then the MSI 770-C45 AMD 770 @ £50 is a bargain If that’s to cheap then the MSI 790GX-G65 790GX @ £97 is the next step Also I've Found the MSI 790FX-GD70 @£130 I would appear MSI have got their motherboards working well on SKT AM3 |

The reason behind the AM3 is that they now faster than the C2D CPU and they are cheaper than the i7 the MSI 790FX-GD70 AMD 790FX looks fantasic it looks like I be building one for my self and then selling it onto my friend but he might never get round to buy it off me  - so I get to keep itMark |
