ive been planning out this computer for a little while, and after looking at amds long and hard, i might be forced to pay a bit more and just go for the i7 920, it just sounds better from what i am hearing. it is sad to admit that though, i love my old trusty amd im running on currently. Anyways! I need help picking out a motherboard for the i7 920. i dont really know what to look for yet, as i am starting fresh with the intel road.
-things i am looking for in this board:
1)cost effective, not necessarily the top motherboard that exists
2)has decent on-board video
3)can overclock alright later when i throw in a 5850 videocard
4)i do NOT need to crossfire, ill only ever use 1 card at a time.
5)normal size board,im going with a cm 690 case
thanks in advance guys! keep in mind this is my first computer build so bare with my lack of expertise
p.s. i might also need help with the ram.
