I am upgrading my system, by buying a new mobo, cpu, graphic card, and probably memory. I am keeping my antec 300 case, my psu, and other items.
My question is the motherboard selection. I need help. The article for beginners pretty much overwhelmed me. I am going to use the computer for internet surfing, documents like word, and some gaming like sc2, wc3, wow, and a few other rts, and rpgs. I don't play FPS, so this upgrade is going to be cheap.
So far based off what I found on this site I am going with:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102875
SAPPHIRE 100293DP Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card w/ Eyefinity
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103886
AMD Athlon II X3 450 Rana 3.2GHz 3 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX450WFGMBOX
I need advice on a good motherboard that will support to the top two items. I am not looking to overclock my system as I don't know how really and that isn't that important to me. I need a motherboard that will fit properly into my Antec 300 case that I already own and fit those 2 above components. Any help is GREAT appreciated.
Oh, I also want to keep the price of the mobo within $50-75 range on newegg, and it has to be an amd board naturally.
Thanks!
