Sir,

I want to purchase a new PC.....(GAMING)

I Just want suggestion for Motherboard & Processor...

Budget(motherboard + processor) = Rs 10,000.

I want to go with AMD Phenom X3 tri core processor and asus M3N78 motherboard with NVIDIA GeForce 8200 Chipset... But i am confused with the combination whether it will work smoothly or not... so, if you kindly comment on this... or can you suggest any other combination.....

please rply....

THANK YOU

^^
Was M3N78 is a 8200Chipset?? :?:

OK, Just get the Phenom X3 8xx proccy and Gigabyte/ASUS 780/790GX based Mobo..(I think it had HD3000 onboard gfx) which is good for mild gaming too....

ya ^^ asus m3n 78 is based on nvidia 8200 chipset..
It will work with ur phenom x3 but try to go for x4 and amd 790 gx chipset mobo...

It so happens that I checked out several AMD motherboards recently. There are three versions of the Asus M3N78 series. Make sure you buy the version you need. IIRC, these are the main differences:

M3N78 Pro - NVidia 8300; 6 rear USB; FW; no PS/2 mouse port; 3 PCI

M3N78-VM - NVidia 8200; 6 rear USB; no FW, 2 PCI

M3N78-EH - NVidia 730a; 4 rear USB; no FW; no onboard graphics; 3 PCI
