Q&A: What motherboard would go well with this computer?
Question by Blu–wolf: What motherboard would go well with this computer?
I am planning on getting a custom computer built (yeah I could try to build it myself, but my luck is not the greatest and I would probably screw something up anyway). I would like some help in figuring out what kind of motherboard I should get for a computer that has:
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB
anything else I should also look into? Like powersupply?

good mboard for you. ASUS makes great boards.

Well i’m pretty sure the processor would work in the ASUS M4A79 Deluxe motherboard. The Video card should fit as long as your case isn’t 2 small.

I’d go along with the general ASUS recommendation for the mobo. The power supply is something to consider but only after everything else has been specified (otherwise you don’t know what you need).
The disk subsystem is commonly overlooked – it isn’t simply a matter of hooking up a drive of the right capacity. A good smart controller (not the built into motherboard one) and good drives can make a big difference. For anything other than a gaming machine more so that the GPU. A quality SAS controller and drives are not cheap but transform a sluggish machine into fast and responsive one.
