I fancy building a matx pc since I have most of the parts any way kicking about plus since Im upgrading my itx to ivy bridge I could use some stuff form that,
I need help on choosing a cpu and Matx mobo...only option I do want is the motherboard to have 6gb/s sata
So the 3 choices
AMD bulldozer fx 6100
AMD A8K
Intel
My issues...
fx 6100 matx boards are limited and most dont look nice...the cpu problems dont really bother me.
AMD A8K my brother in law has one does what is says seems nice and cheap cant really find a fault BUT just summit niggling me about it can put my finger on it. some reviews have the normal A8 beating the amd fx 4100 :/.
Intel I already have 2 builds want summit different, 2 expensive for the purpose in mind
main reason of the build is for fun, start getting into modding and over clocking think of it as a testing platform for a beginner
