New Motherboard Help-Foxconn,EVGA, or XFX

[moneyhunter]

I was wondering if everyone could give me their thoughts on this particular motherboard. I am planning on upgrading my system and have decided to use the Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H motherboard (it is currently on sale at NewEgg for $99.99) which has received several good reviews. However, I've also read that the EVGA 122-M2-NF59-TR and XFX MB-N590ASH9 are the exact same motherboard! (Rebadged/relabeled Foxconn board.) So my question is, since these are all the same board and relatively all the same price which one would you buy? I know that EVGA has a lifetime warranty, but then the Foxconn has a much better bundle included....so what would you do?

Thanks for all your help!!!

I have had a foxconn in my main system for over two years now and it is still working flawlessly.

All 3 are relabeled Nvidia reference boards. I would go for the foxconn first it has rounded cables and a printed manual, then the Evga round cables manual on CD, then the XFX ribbon cables and manual on CD.

I just got the Foxconn myself. It is definitely the heaviest mobo box that I've ever received with all the cables that come included. Still waiting on my memory before I can get it set up, though.

Unfortunately, the Foxconn deal is now dead (back up to $120 AR). Probably your best bet would be the eVGA board now ($100 AR).

I went with the Foxconn board.. Got in on the deal. It is the same as the EVGA and XFX but includes more goodies in the box. Foxconn probably makes all three.
