Hi,
I am building a new pc and am looking for a 785G series motherboard.
I know the 790 is better but that's out of my budget.
I have narrowed it down to 3 motherboards:
-Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H
uATX
+ good onboard sound (Realtek ALC889)
- picky about memory
- no sideport
-Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H
+ ATX
+ 1 more pci slot vs uATX
Rest is as UD2H
-Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
+10 phase voltage regulator
+Lots of cooling fins
+Not so picky about memory
-No floppy controller(makes installing raid on XP very difficult)
Which one should I chose?
I have read a lot but I still can't decide.![Ponder](https://www.tweaktownforum.com/core/images/smilies/ponder.gif)
Going to run with the onboard GPU at first, and switch to a better graphics card later.
Want to install either 1333Mhz cas7 or 1600Mhz cas8 memory.
(GV34GB1333C7DC and GV34GB1600C8DC)
Processor will be x4 955 or 965
Light overclock: intend to run 200Mhz lower than possible for durability,
no overclocking on the memory
WD 640GB 32MB harddrive
Dual boot with xp and 7
Cheers,
Eize
