Hi Guys,
I need a motherboard for a intel Core 2 Duo E8400. Which one will be the best considering the price performance ratio. I intend to use ATi HD 4870 with it. No SLI.
Budget is tight :p and I don’t want to compromise on the processor or the GFX card. Help..

I checked some sites, seems like the MSI one will be a good choice. Is there any drawback or feature missing with the board that may stop someone from purchasing that board ?

check with your local vendor for pricing on those boards.

Gigabyte board is GA-EP45-DS3L
