Help with motherboard on new build

[TheWeldon]

The computer will be used for normal internet, a media centre and some older gaming and maybe some music software such as reason. I am unsure of what motherboard to go for, I would prefer the gigabyte, but another forum guy said:

"The 780G CHIPSET is fine, but avoid the Gigabyte board because ONLY the latest revision of that board has full support for the whole range of AM2+ CPUs, You cannot gaurentee that EBuyer (or anyone else) has the latest revision. However, the ASUS supports all AMD2+ CPUs"

Does that mean that I should not get the gigabyte and why wouldnt it support my chosen CPU?? CANT I FIND OUT WEATHER IT WILL SUPPORT IT OR NOT??? is the asus any good i think the on board graphics on the gigabyte are better. I dont get it need help choosing this last componant!!?

first off, go to newegg and get your stuff there.

Go to gigabyte.com and try finding out there. That's what i did with my MSI mobo, cept i went to MSI.com, obviously.

I'm getting an "out of stock" error on the Gigabyte mobo, but I would go with this Asus board because it's got Firewire in it for not much more at all, unless that's not important to you... http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150948/show_product_specifications?spectype=extended

As far as compatibility is concerned, it should work just fine.
