A mid-ATX I had from my old build. Was wondering what makes that build better than the one I selected? Thanks for the help.

DDR3, Crossfire Capable motherboard incase you wanna add another 4870, 1gb vs 512mb frame buffer, ddr3 memory vs ddr2. And the main- Quadcore over Dual core. Oh yeah, and the sake of upgradeability as socket 775 will have no new processors comming out, while new amd cpu's should be backward compatible.

Will not work, you have him picked out a AM3 board and a AM2+ processor. Why do you all pick these crap ASrock boards anyway.

People still drive Yugos too, but it doesnt mean they were good cars. Could not tell you the problems I have had with them over the years and PCchips. Will not touch them. Backyard frisbees
ASrock is a budget board by Asus, low end mosfits and Chokes, have to flip over a cross plate to run CF. Plus has a extra molex power connector you have to plug in to run CF because the boards power layout is so lowend/bad.

Plus I added some CF boards even though he didnt ask for one.
