Default ASRock-ASR-A780GM Yes or no

Basicly this is a motherboard im looking at

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ASRoc...SATA-RAID-mATX

The reason for this is that i plan on sorting out my m8's comp and gonna give him a ton of my old parts, so decided that i will give him my old motherboard and get myself a cheap upgrade that will allow me to use sb710 and 780 chipsets since im stuck on a nforce6 chipset

realistickly im not going to find a motherboard under £50 quid that has 2 x pci-e slots supports upto 125w tdp and also ddr2 support (since i dont wanna upgrade my ram) and AM2+/AM3 compatible,

im just wondering if theres anything better within that price range plus this is only a temporary mess around until i do a serious upgrade next year

wil give more info if required since i know i havent given enough and tooo many spelling typos in here

The 780G chipset is pretty nice but unfortunately, I've heard some horror stories about ASRock's service. Personally, I would try to find Gigabyte, Foxconn, or even MSI. If you're wanting to stay cheap, go with Biostar. They only have a 1 year warranty but their boards are pretty awesome.
