the reason theres 2 motherboards is because i dont know which is better, and obviously im on a budget

if your not gonna build your own use ava direct i have not heard a single bad thing about them and they are normally priced very well

It is a nice mid ranged system that will play games very well for the time being, but in the next year I am sure it will run into a game or two that will test it, ala crysis.

It's certainly good for people who aren't enthusiasts. People saying it's just ok is because they want to be as high as they can be for the price.Luminouslight
