    Aaron,

    Thank you for your reply. I checked out the MB you recommended and it seems great. What do you think of MB’s that support AMD chips? I feel like I could get one cheaper than what I could get an Intel chip/board.

     

    Here is what I was thinking. Any suggestions or remarks are more than welcomed.

    MB: ASRock 880GM-LE

    CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250e

    Well, the difference between the parts you linked and the H61 board plus a G620 is about $28. For that additional money, you get a board with much better specs. The Intel NIC alone is worth it. In addition, you’re getting most likely better power consumption, additional PCIe slot, SATA III and USB3 ports and better graphics.
