Ok my cousin is building a comp....
Here are the specs so far....
1). Antec LifeStyle SONATA II Piano Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450Watt SmartPower
(http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811129155)

2). eVGA 6600GT 128MB PCI-expressx16 (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814130214)

3). AMD Athlon 64 3500+ socket 939
(http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819103603)

4). CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200)
(http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145440)

5). WD 120GB hard drive
(http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822144414)

6). NEC DVD Burner

The only thing left is the motherboard...it needs to be socket 939 & PCI-expressx16...SLi is not really necessary. He will not be doing any hardcore gaming or overclocking.
Willing to spend around $100 for mobo

I was looking at these..but willing to take other recommendations
1). GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128268

2). Chaintech VNF4 nForce 4 Ultra chipset
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16813152049

also looked at some ASUS mobos....any suggestions??
 
I'd go with an ASUS. They have a couple boards that utilize the nForce4 for around $90-100. Good rep and reliable mobos.

Newegg doesn't have the vnf4/ultra any more, but they still have the vnf4, it's similar.
I like my vnf4/ultra, it's done well.

me to

and why would thay discontuie to sell the vnf4 ultra, it was a good seller there, a great budget board to
 
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI is a great & stable m/b if you don't want the SLI goo for the VGA version. :slurp:
 
I would say to go with anything made by Asus, DFI, Foxconn, Abit, MSI (list maybe missing some) and make sure it is based on a Nvidia chipset (Nforce 3 or later)
