Hey im trying to build a computer for my senior project for high school. i have been looking for a cheap board, but good performance. this is what i have been looking at.

Motherboard: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2274650&CatId=1533

Cpu: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3241559

Do you think this is good together??

Please i need all the help i can get, i want to build a good desktop. i have most parts already, i just need a cpu and a mobo.

Or should i get this one:

Combo: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3538875&CatId=14

Please i need comments/feedbacks. I like to use it to play some PC games too.


Thank you.
 
I would not go with the $15 mb, its bad. If you are doing this for school, and at the same time have an interest in computers and want to make a nice one, dont skimp too much. Try http://www.newegg.com for some components. It is a good site.

Here are my recommendations for a budget build that will let you play some games too. This should be a fun senior project.
CPU
Mobo
RAM
PSU
Just get a little GPU for good measures
GPU
HDD
Optical Drive
As for case, get the Antec 900, with the MIR its $75 and free shipping
Antec 900
I would go XP
Windows XP

If you need input devices and a monitor, here go with these.
Monitor
mouse
keyboard

total comes to: $561 without monitor/mouse/keyboard

with = $743

hope this helps

I fixed it. If you have any other questions, please feel free.

I think the Antec 900 will be a perfect case for you because it looks real cool (critical of a computer project) and the great current price.

Have:
Case
DVD-BURNER

i already have mouse, keyboard, and monitor.

The mobo you recomended:

Click to expand...

ATX board is 12" x 9.6". Mid ATX case usually fit
And the PSU come with your case is a bit weak. You need to get a quaility one.

DVD burner: LITE-ON LH-20A1S - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106057
It come with replaceable white front panel
