I need a decent motherboard that won't crap out on me.

[ijyt]

So I'm suspecting my 780i died, and I need a replacement. Going to be running a Q9450 with a HD5850/9800GX2, 4GB of DDR2.

I don't want it to be too expensive, I might stretch to £120 or I might not.

I suggest that you're buying a MSI Motherbord, because they are cheap and very powerful, they also support very much.

I Have a AM3 Motherbord from MSI and i like it very much, i think it will be good for Intel stuff.
(a Phenom II X4 955)

The board that crapped out on me was an MSI, so no thanks.

Thanks for this very useful information, I shall treasure it forever.

I had a foxconn on my old computer.

Still working, hard ovefclocked to 4.0 ghz C2Q Q660 @2.4ghz (Before)

Never crapped out on me. Get one with a Pheonix Bios.

Being a [i]little[/i] more specific would be more helpful.

I'm running one of [url=http://www.ebuyer.com/product/165395]these[/url] and it's wonderful. I've only had it for about a month but I did a fair amount of research and didn't hear of any major problems with it. Currently have 4gb ddr2, an Intel C2Q @ 3ghz, and an HD4850 on mine. I'm looking forward to being able to put in 2x HD5770's in the near future.

If anything he should get a crossfire ready board. He already has a 5850.

And even though it's expensive as all hell and it's huge I'm digging it. Try out some of Gigabytes motherboards.

For that you could get a 5850 or an i5 + mobo >.>

I'd have to buy a new processor and RAM for that.

Too expensive, and I won't be buying an Nvidia chipset mobo any time soon again.
