Hi,
I'm going to build a computer pretty soon and I need some advice on a motherboard. This will be the second computer I've ever built, and the first relatively nice computer I've ever had. I know I can put it together, but I would appreciate some advice. I have pretty much narrowed it down to either the MSI KT3 ULTRA-ARU, or the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP. I would appreciate any advice either way.
As far as the computer goes, I'm getting an:
Athlon 1800XP processor,
512megs of PC2700 ram,
Western Digital 80 GB hard drive with 8mb buffer,
Lite on 32x12x40 CDRW,
Toshiba 16X dvd player,
Geforce4 4200 128mb video card,
SB Audigy 5.1 sound card, and Windows XP.
It will be used for a lot of things including some movie watching, gaming, internet surfing, etc. I pretty satisfied with the rest of the stuff, but feel free to comment on that too. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
