ASUS M5A88-M - motherboard - micro ATX - Socket AM3+ - AMD 880G

Alright, if you are a gamer then I strongly recommend this motherboard. While it may not be the most expensive, it can match the performance of some of the more expensive motherboards. This board was actually the first "gaming" board that I bought. Not only was I happy with it, I was overwhelmed with joy. Some gamer's don't think a motherboard is a first priority. I personally think the motherboard is a gaming computers main component. This motherboard can and will handle anything you throw at it. From the most advanced processors, down to the most extreme graphics cards you have a board that will perform nonstop. It is my number 1 choice for a gaming computer mainly because you get way more than what you pay for. If you would like to upgrade your current board then I would suggest considering the asus M5A88-M. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this board other than it should be more recognized for what it is.
