Hey all,
I recently bought an Acer Aspire X3960 (Intel Core i3 2300) and a new case & power supply. I am going to take the innards out of the Acer and transplant them into the new case, and I also am going to need a new motherboard.
tl;dr I have to questions:
Which of these motherboards is better, and (if you have the time) why:

Second, I have never switched motherboards before, so can I just take all the parts off the old motherboard and stick them on the new motherboard and have it working properly, or do I need to do something extra?
Thanks very much for the time and effort it takes to read and answer this question, you guys at Tom's are infinitely helpful.
