Re: urgent advice on pc....

since he is not going for a GFX card, i suggest go for a mobo which has sideport memory for the IGP

just 1 suggestion, get X3. about PSU, check if you can find Gigabyte 400W. else VIP 400W is also a good buy. specially when theres no graphics card.

will keep in mind....

get VIP 400W. 350W is a bit too low. also there shouldn't be any problem.

with sideport memory. i doubt you'll find any below 5k. settle for the Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H. performance won't take any big hit.
