What you recommend???

I really want to go buy my new computer but i want some help on what motherboard i should get.  Right now ill be getting a Athlon 1700 and a radeon 8500.  Can anyone suggest a good motherboard to go along?  And keep in mind i dont wanna go over 200 (canadian)on the motherboard.

Check out www.newegg.com .  I'm not up on the latest and greatest and don't know the conversiont rates form American to Canadian dollar but their asus A7N266-C for $110 American looks decent but I think it has an intergrated video option.
The A7V266-E KT266A looks really kick ass for $144 american here a link directly to the page.

www.newegg.com is a pretty good site for computer parts. if you dont find anything good there or want to see if you can find a cheaper price go here www.pricewatch.com they are very good for pricing things out and finding a cheap place.

I'm agree with savage, Asus goes great with Athlon. Probably the best mobo for AMDs
Usually expensive, but obviously worst it

Good luck

Thanks alot guys

Im so happy i waited becuase Gigabyte just released there own ATI radeon 8500!!! so that means it will be alot cheaper.

you might want to check out the ABIT KR7A-RAID. Abits are one of the, if not the, best mobos around. superfast in every way and has three pin cooling, which keeps your cpu below 100 degrees farenheit. it is a little stee in price though, but you may see it for cheap where some one else mentioned, www.pricewatch.com

actually iv decided to go with the gigabyte GA-7VTXE becuase it got amazing reviews and the price is very good.

if the same company makes both your vid card and mobo, that should make for a very good combo and config

good luck with it
