First Mobo

[thefirm]

Hello Im looking to put together a fairly decent gaming machine.

so far i have a core 2 duo E6400
and i am looking to put in the 7900GT

mainly im looking for a mobo that is between 100$ - 200$. ive searched around newegg and tigerdirect but i cant settle on one. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

oh btw will a 500w power supply be enough for this type of machine?

Any of the Asus P5B line will suit you fine....

And yes a 500 watt psu will be good enough, just as long as it is a good name brand like enermax, silverstone, OCZ, antec or pc power and cooling. Just make sure you dont go hog wild about a 500 psu that comes with any case you are buying. Those PSU's are gererally junk and dont hold up. So buy the PSU of the mentioned brands and buy a case without a PSU
