It was him.

 

I figured that, but I was referring to both of you just in case... For now I'll assume that was just snark. Honestly I get overly defensive when talking about a subject I know nothing about.

 

I need to avoid getting off topic here. :confused:

I have never had a problem with an ASUS mobo and would reccomend you dont buy MSI boards since they come with less features

Awesome case with great feature, wicked cool design.

Thought I already made it clear I wasn't going ASUS. Sorry, you can't convince me. In fact I went looking for the board on newegg. Check out this link, read the most recent reviews for it and then try to tell me Asus boards are stable.

 

Either going EVGA or Gygabyte.

I still like ASUS, but Gigabyte are good too (bit more pricey) and EVGA is good too.

So if youre not buying ASUS have fun installing / tweaking because youre gong to have huge problems

some cables not included

no block plug for the individual pins

bad BIOS

the list goes on

 

Theres nothing wrong with ASUS but everybody has a cry becuse they have no idea what they're doing

"The votage regulator blew"

Oh yeah, real intelegent a voltage reg on a mobo THIS ISNT A POWER SUPPLY GENIUS!

 

Dont buy a motherboard from newegg, buy it from somewhere where the boxes haven't been opened and the prices are realistic

 

ASUS's catchphrase is the real seller

"Rock Solid, Heart Touching"

doesn't translate the least bit

 

I dont expect you to buy ASUS though just based on what I said, better to be safe than sorry.

As for the GPU you can pick up some cheap fast ones for sale at PCCASEGEAR

A great website for people who want exceedingly over the top lighting too

 

Your're spending too much money on a fancy overpriced sound card, you shouldn't buy fatality brand products they're a rip off.

Newegg is fine. And if you refuse to use asus, I suggest gigabyte. They have better triple-SLI and water cooling compatibility, if that means anything to you. They're also a bit larger, unfortunately. Yet I've seen them get nearly the same performance as an asus, and I haven't heard any of the breaking problems with them. They don't even seem to need much tweaking. However, the ASUS has the best BIOS I've ever seen....just saying.

As far as I can tell, if I'm building a gaming PC, I'm bound to have problems with the BIOS no matter what I do, and this is from the perspective of someone who knows little about computers and has no bias, it's just an observation of others.

Asus does not send you a new board if it's DOA, pure and simple. That's the reason I hate them, other than that I don't know if the boards are really all that bad, probably not, and I still haven't found a decent replacement for them either.

And yet everyone else has told me to go there. Where wont I get ripped off?!?!

Er, I'm not Australian. :confused:

I'm not surprised. But I couldn't find any proper reviews to tell me the ups and downs of the card. Come to think of it, it's the same way with all computer parts, there probably isn't a single reviewer who isn't paid off anyway. :rolleyes:

 

I'm just worried about screwing this up. I have the money to build the computer once, just once, if it blows up I can't try again for another 3-5 years.

 

However, the ASUS has the best BIOS I've ever seen....just saying.

*edit* I even checked the Asus forums, they clearly still have as many BIOS issues as anyone else.

[Qwaxalot]

My two cents worth.

 

I've bought hundreds of items, and spent thousands of dollars at Newegg. I've never had a problem.

[Nadin]

I didn't mean issues. Those are a given no matter what. I meant user-friendliness.

[prandiningrat]

I would suggest that you buy MSI motherboard.I already tested all motherboards posted above for AMD and INtel but i never tested EVGA. ASUS has fully feature, good BIOS (sometimes not stable,upgrading bios from vendors usually untested and bugged) and very high price too.

GiGABYTE more stable than ASUS with DUAL BIOS and Green Power feature, good performance but still higher price than MSI. MSI is the best motherboard I've ever seen, stable,low price, very high performance, DRMOS feature that can handle overvoltage.if you feel to overclocking, MSI it's the best motherboard for overclock with no overheating.

If you prefer to playing game like Crysis.I suggested that you choose Nvidia than ATI for some reason. and i have no idea for Fallout3 or Fallout New Vegas. Since the games using an old game engines.

Yet people still complain about it.

Oblivon/Fallout 3/New Vegas, pretty sure all of them were designed on Nvidia computers, much like the majority of games on the market.
