Im looking to build a decent computer for FSX. I would like to have a core 2 duo, DDR3 ram and an Nvidia 8800GT graphics card. using Newegg, it gave me these results for motherboards. i have not ever built a computer so i just wanted to make sure that these specs were suitable and compatible. In your opinions, which motherboard/s on THIS page do you think are the best? any help is greatly appreciated

Id go for that. Relatively cheap, decent reviews, supports ddr3-1800 and dual pcie slots(should you ever decide to upgrade). Also, apparently provides a bit of room for overclocking, meaning the cooling is pretty good.

Really, if you wont be overclocking, it doesnt matter what you get.
Its only once you start overclocking and tweaking for max performance that you need the real expensive ones.

ferrit doesnt have that board. im not really looking to overclock so if it doesnt really matter, will any of these ones be ok?

OK... ferrit = bad mmmKay??

Goto PriceSpy and look for hardware/prices there... Also, I would look at the ATI 48x0 series of cards at the moment... outperforming the nVidia stuff at the same (slightly cheaper) price levels...

The 4850 is still the performance/price leader...

'Ferrit' doesn't really have anything -- that's just Telecom's attempt to lever their web penetration by skimming a percentage off the top of existing web traders. When you look at that Ferrit page, you'll see the actual merchant listed -- for example, Computer Lounge and Elive. If you go to the 'Retailer Profile' you normally get a link to their real website.
