[dba-Tech] Reliable mobo maker for Athlon?

Ever look at Toms Hardware Guide website??

http://www.tomshardware.com/

Or Extremetech??

http://www.extremetech.com

Both evaluate and make recomendations on components. I have not
assembled any systems myself. I have friends that used to do it a few
years ago and had them do work for me a couple times. I have a
hankering to build a system now though.
