Seems like a solid build

Where are you getting the E2160 from, and at what price?

 

[Dr.G]

Zaps.co.za for R664
Good price?

I'd say go for the cheaper of the two (or the one with the most features that you'll actually use), both support 1,333MHz FSB so both will run your E2160 at 3GHz (at least)

the Gigabyte is the cheapest so ya ille go for it.And it seems to be reli reliable.....Its jus that the MSI looks so nice with the heat pipes etc, its prob all for show tho.
Is Mushkin ram any good? Cant seem to find any good reviews?
Thanks
