my question to you techies out there.
which motherboard should i go in for, budget is around 5 k
i would want to unlock the processor.
have narrowed down to biostar TA790GX 128M.
heard biostar has a good board TA785GE 128M BUT this board is without solid capacitors.
i have a zebronics 400 w power supply ,will it work or i would need to upgrade .
till the time being i will use the onboard graphic processor so is ttthe 400w power supply sufficient for the system.
planning to buy it tommorow from lamington road.
need your inputs
any shop recomendations also appreciated.
thanks
ps : system will be used mainly for downloading, moderate gaming

u know the probabilities of unlocking the cpu?
it does not depends on the board
it solely depends on the proccy piece you have
anyways seiing ur requirements u can go for x3 435 as sam suggested
its a good cpu with enough stock speed to fill ur requirements
and pair it with either 785 based mobo(giga/msi/bio*)<-priority levels
if u still wanna go for phenom 555BE
try to look for the brand giga/msi
if u wanna get some new features like usb3 and sata3
then go for 8xx series mobo,preferably 880series by MSI/GIGA
