ok, for the sake of argument, reccomend a good intel motherboard.

From what I undersatnd, Pentiums are far more stable and the Athlon only gives marginal increases in performance in gaming.

Alright, Ive decided to go the complete opposite direction. I need reccomendations of Pentium motherboards.

dfi?

im not an overclocker, so thats not important to me

it looks very similair to the deluxe excpet minus the second 16x PCI e slot. also, there seems to be an a8ne and an a8ne FM model

case and power are on the way, now i need to motherboard. i am an Athlon fan, and the board reccomded to me is the asus a8n-sli deluxe. however, as always i am open to any and all suggestions.

alright, looks like i am going with the neopower 480, wont order it till next week so if anyone has any other information feel free.

madular cables a gimmick or really cool?

which one? truepower, neopwer, or both?

alright, lets narrow it down to these 3:

Antex NeoPower 480
Noistaker 485
Truepower II 550

Which would you buy? The Neopower is the best reviewed one I have seen and I found it for $100 with free shipping.

What do you guys think of the Antec Neopower series? I have read good things about it.

so far, taht enermax. but like i said, i dont know much about power supplies so i am pretty much going on your advice. although i have heard more good things about antec.

which way should i go, antec or enermax?

I decided to go with the Antec P180 case which i got for $134 (free shipping) off of eWiz.com. It doesn't have an included power supply. This is another area where me knowledge is less than 0. What is standard and where should i get it from?
