Ok well, i decided to start building a gaming pc pretty recently and today i got an x-black 006 gaming case and an msi-760GM-P21 fx motherboard, i plan on buying atleast 8gb of ram just because here i can get it pretty damn cheap and i have some spare parts lying around to add in aswell.
Anyway my question is:
Do you/ have you used or heard about this motherboard and if so is it decent? i know it has overclocking features in the bios and stuff but i have no idea what people actually think of it in general.
Also, can anyone recommend me a decent amd cpu as i have never purchased one and have always used intel boards before now.
Thanks as always <3

If im right , that is the same motherboard they use in those prebuilds off of ebay. People say the computers are bad, but im not sure if the mobo had anything to do with it.

It's a cheap, low-quality board with support for only 95-watt TDP CPUs. It's also got a wimpy 3+1 phase VRM with no cooling and just two transistors. The best CPU you can use with this board is the FX 6300, but overclocking is NOT something you should attempt because the power delivery is inadequate.
Ideally, return or sell the board and go with Intel for your build because it simply performs better in games for the price. You also don't have to worry about any of this VRM business because the i3-3220 consumes about half as much power as its AMD competitors.
No and no. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't post.
