| 1397238 | 2015-03-26 00:05:00 | I don't think I want a micro-ATX board. I've got a tower case, so I have the space, and I find those boards just a bit too cramped. Any preference between Intel and AMD? I've tended to have AMD up till now, mainly because of price, but I could easily be persuaded to change. |

Intel - more performance and better efficiency AMD - Lower price and better integrated GPU in the APU's If you go for an APU you definitely won't need a graphics card but in every other respect I would still recommend intel. |

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. |

| 1397244 | 2015-04-22 04:23:00 | I've used PBtech on and off for a long time for all sorts of bits and pieces and never had a problem with them. ... They used to be good but had quite a nasty experience with their Penrose branch about a month ago. Won't go back to them again, at least the Penrose branch. Are they franchised? They seem to be individually managed. |

Are they franchised? They seem to be individually managed.I've never had a problem with them, but I usually deal with Henderson these days. For this exercise I actually went through a young friend of mine who is working in their support area, so it was all done online. He got me a good price and free delivery, too. |
