make sure you get new for old policy

one serious tip

no matter what nerd tells you do not go for a motherboard with intergrated graphics , all it will do is eat into your system memory/ram , if you are going to buy a board with intergrated graphics you may as well just buy a piece of crap from pc world, also intergrated graphics lack a lot of features that stand alone graphics cards do and you will probably run into a lot of issues with games or have to lower graphics quality to play them properly

on board sound is ok but graphics is a huge no no , even if your not planning on playing gamesthe onboard graphics will slow your system down BIG time

spend an extra 50 or so quid and get a half decent ati card , preferably pci express so make sure you buy a board with a oci express slot and not agp

scew intel they are overpriced stick with amd , cheaper and just as fast
