JBall Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hiya, gang! I'm looking to rebuild my PC. I am going to reuse the hard drives and sound card. I know I want a Pentium Dual Core, would love a Quad, but I'm going the cheaper rout. And I know I'll have to buy new RAM. Which brings me to my question: What motherboard do you recommend/suggest? I'm looking for an integrated video card (again, for cost) I'm sure anything new would be better than the one that came with my 4 year old Dell. Unless, you know of a stellar combo deal on a video card and motherboard, this is route I'm thinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelfimage Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I've always built with ecs boards - ecsusa.com and have also used asus boards. Make sure to upgrade your power supply unit. I've had good luck w/ Enermax and Artic Smart Powers. And good ventilation. I'm trying to decide to upgrade MB and Ram to the DDR2 type and keep running my tower. Or, ditch the tower and invest in a very very robust laptop. Save some kilowatts and be more mobile. And, instead of running 3 hard drives in my tower, buy a couple USB mobile Hard drives to back up data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
