I want to spend around 300~400 to get a pretty decent gaming computer.

I found this GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard for only 55 bux from Newegg.

Is it okay for constructing a gaming computer?

In addition, I want to play games like C&C Red Alert 3 and Daiblo 3 for next year.

I want to hear from you guys.

It's a good board, gets good reviews as well, it's micro ATX which means it's the small form factor and will have just the minimum connectors you need which is one reason it's cheaper, you will probably get replies in here saying get a more expensive board with a better chipset but if that suits your budget then it looks quite good and with a decent cpu/graphics card should be fine.

Is this ideal for barebone?

MSI N9800GT 512OC GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 fits with this motherboard right?
