How am I to expect from Asus motherboards, a very high quality motherboard that runs extremely stable and reliable. Additional advantages: -Integrated Radeon 4250 graphics chip, which is sufficient for games, perhaps not for the latest 3D, but very low power consumption. That although currently a 5770 still built for games, but later, when this computer "only" is used for work, this integrated graphics card is of course for 2D a very low-power solution. -USB3 + SATA3 make this very zukunfstsicher, though the current SATA3 HDD bring not necessarily speed advantages. -The Asus Energiesparutility ASUS EPU makes the machine extremely quiet and energy efficient, but is only with ASUS graphics cards compatible. Did this board with an AMD Phenom X6 1066 and 4GB DDR3 1600 memory and a ASUS EAH5770 elixir now for two months in operation and still am very impressed by the power with almost no noise. (Of course, a good and gentle Be Quit PSU with 450 watts - Tip: buy a power supply with excessive power, as the loss performance curve at low utilization has great power dissipation).
