Hi All,

How important is the motherboards specs when you want to build a good gaming pc realy. Do i need to focus more on the screen card and cpu and Memory then on the mother board. Someone told me that i need to focus on the mother board first. I know i need one but how important is its specs?

The performance difference between a good mobo and a cheap one is rarely more than a few percent. The bigger issue is that noname boards tend to be less reliable and more likely to fail under heavy loads.
Thanks Dan, I thought as much. So there is no real need to go all out for the most expensive M-Board. That leaves a much better budget scope for the screen card and CPU. Thanks.

Unless you need some of the specific features it has, no. At the same time, the $50 difference between an entrylevel board from asus/abit/etc and a similar looking board from someone like pcchips is primarily in the quality of components used, so you're trading away stability and hardware life expectancy. Unless your budget is badly strained this isn't a good idea.
