What video games are you looking at playing? This could make the difference between a $1000 build and a $600 build.

Also, do you have a preference to quad/dual core or DDR3/DDR2?

Best part about the above mobo, is it supports crossfire so down the road you could add another 4830/4670(depending on which you choose now) and pretty much double performance.

Hi giuseppe07

The game that you expressed to play required very good motherboard like Asus or GIGABYTE, DDR3 2 GB Ram, 512 MB Graphics Card, You also need processor like Intel's or AMD's.

What!?

Lol a good motherboard to play a game? That's not correct, You can play the most demanding games out there on the cheapest boards you can get,Obviusly higher end motherboards might get you better performance but it's not a whole lot better.

To play games, You mostly need a good Gpu,Good-ish Cpu that wont bottleneck the Gpu and enough ram,3gb is fine,Under Xp.

And you certainly do not need DDR3 ram, Yes it would be a good idea to get DDR3 if you can afford it but by all means it's not needed as DDR2 is still the main thing these days.
