Which motherboard should I get for my.....

[cudzich09]

I have a Intel q9300, Nvidia 9800Gt, and 4GB ddr2 800mhz. I'm looking for a good motherboard which can support the hardware I listed above. I prefer Asus, but anything will do.

My budget is under $200

THANKS

You need a solid board for that rig.
I recommend Gigabyte GA- EP45T-DS3R- P45+ICH10R. i tried it with the same hardware as yours and it's great. Be sure to use at least 500W psu.

that or if you really prefer Asus, there's Asus P5Q Pro for like $119 AR or something.

You can actually get the P5Q Pro + 2x1GB OCZ RAM for $86 after rebate at Newegg now, which seems like a great deal (especially since you prefer Asus). If you manage to resell the RAM, that's $70ish for a great board (or you could just use the RAM).

Thanks, really appreciate it.

Is there a big difference between Aus p5q PRO and p5q Deluxe?

As a noob on this forum, I haven't figured out how to post a new message. Help? Also, am going crazy trying to decide what would be a good mobo for sli and has lots of usb ports and lots of controls for fans, temps, etc., for 150 or less. Thanks for your help.
