    Having been keeping my eye on the threads here, the time has finally come for an upgrade. Going to go with Hardwareversand but I'm having problems finding the 4870 in the PC configurator. It just simply isn't there as an option. I've tried picking another board thinking that might be a problem but I still won't list it, only the 4850.

    I might be missing something incredibly obvious but can anyone suggest a solution?

    Cheers Moosejam, so I take it that it's a glitch on the site then? Just was worried the the motherboard wouldn't be able to handle it etc. Was going for one around 50-60 which I presumed would be fine. If you have any recommendations it would be even better.

    If you are looking for a recommendation for a good cheap motherboard I'm sure someone will chip in, I'm not up to speed on whats great these days :), I would say though that Hardwareversand does limit what you can pick based on compatibility so what ever motherboard you were going with I'd read the reviews and see if there are any issues with taking a 4870, I can't imagine any though

    Exactly what I was thinking, just want to make sure. It's a long time to wait for something that might not work. ;)

    This mobo is really nice, has ATI xfire support also.

    I'm sorry but that motherboard has been nothing but trouble for me. I sent back the first one to Komplett because it arrived dead, no lights, fans or beeps. In fairness I received a replacement the next week but the network controller regularly crashes, so bad that stuck in an old nic I had lying around. The vdroop is massive - literally over half a volt making it impossible to overclock, unless you feel comfortable sticking +2V through your new processor. Also it seems to be very picky over which ram it'll take though I've been lucky myself. The bios updates have been very poor. Only get this board if you hate life.
