Sadly I don't really dont know much about Motherboards so any suggestions on the listed cards/ not here on list would help greatly. I picked a few of these cards myself in color. Would still like others opinions on the top 3-5 from these mobos.

MSI makes a decent mobo. Abit aren't as good as MSI. Asus you are paying for the name and the ability to overclock a bit more. Also, Asus is building for HP now, ick.

genuine intel mobo's are good too if you arent concerned about getting the lowest price possible

Cant go wrong with any MSI if you ask me. Abit blows. And Asus is pricy as said, but quality as well.
