As you all know im having some serious computer issues. mainly my mobo has died a death. ive borrowed one for the meantime but would like a little help on deciding which mobo to purchase.
im skint so price is everything here, and taking into account i will be buying a new grafics card too.
im stuck between choosing AMD and intel... the specs of both mobo's are listed below. can someone take a look and see which is the best buy for me. i will be using it for gaming so thats the only thing to take into account.
Of course if one of you has something better to offer at the right price i will also be interested.
