I'll have a spare i5 2500 cpu after my i7 2600k chip comes from the Intel Retail Edge deal.
I have some spare parts and only need a MB and PSU to complete a desktop build. I'll give it away for free to family members. But it will probably be their main system. I want it to be semi reliable because I don't want to drive over there to fix it all the time.
I seen some cheap 1155 MB on newegg starting at $50. With an under $50 PSU, I can have a full system after spending $100.
Should I spend a little extra and get a better MB or would one of these bottom of the barrel MB's be ok for basic computing task.
All of Newegg's 1155 MB:
