I need help buying a motherboard
I'm having a hard time deciding which motherboard to buy.
I will use my PC to make Games and make movies. I don't know whether to get a ATX or Mini -ATX. I won't use all the slots ATX has to offer. I will be buying GeForce GTS 450 Graphics card, or better. I wont buy a Sound Card. I'd rather use the on-board sound. I will use around, or more, 8 GB of memory. I have 2 sets of Hard Drive. Each 500GB. I have 1 Blue Ray drive. My CPU is AMD Phenom II X6 3.2Ghz 1090T. What do you guys think? |

Welcome to pcmech forums.
Make games as in game design? Are you going to be rendering 3D graphics? Please elaborate on what you mean by making games! Thanks

Won't work, CPU support up to 95W, your CPU is much higher than that

I would spend the extra 6 pounds and get the Asus, worth it all day long.
