Intel Motherboard Pict
Click on the image to buy it. ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus is a solid Intel motherboard that won't break the budget, but it also won't break any overclocking records. The nVidia NForce 650i chipset is the limiting factor here. If you do plain old overclocking, I highly recommend additional cooling fans pointed at both the chipset and the fins on the heatpipe. The high points of this Intel motherboard is the dual x16 PCI Express slots, which gamers out there will love. A few other improvements to the Plus motherboard model is the 8 phase power design and solid state polymer capacitors around the CPU socket. For the gamer or enthusiast, the ASUS P5N32-ESLI Plus is a superb motherboard. It's strong, stable, and BioShock played with ease using the hardware.
