Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my computer, and am looking to get either the E4700/7200/8200 processor.

I use my computer for basic office applications, internet surfing, burning DVDs, as well as Adobe Lightroom and CS3 for photo editing.

Can anyone recommend a mATX board with onboard DVI output? I'm not looking to buy an additional graphics card because I don't do any gaming or 3-D graphics work.

And also, which of the three processor above would suffice for my usage? I'm afraid that the E8200 would be overkill.

Thank you very much in advance.

I would go for the E7xxx since it is in the same price range but faster and runs cooler than the E4xxx series, and costs less than the E8xxx series.

For motherboard, how about an Asus P5E-VM HDMI? Alternately, any G33, G35 or Q35 chipset board with HDMI. Those chipsets perform well and support dual channel RAM (unlike Nvidia 7xxx series).
