Its not the greatest board, but they do have a 1 year warranty. I've used ASRock boards a few times, to replace failed motherboards.

Reportedly, Asus had started the ASRock brand as their low end line.

To save more money, you can always get components used, just make sure they're in good shape.

He'd do fine with some value ram or so, he doesn't need this good expensive shit. Also, even with 2gb, games run smooth, don't say that 4gb of ultra ram is a must.

TBH, the games I currently own are not power hogs in any way. The most demanding game would probably be Lost Planet

No, I dont need a 480 and 10 gigs of DDR3 ram, im thinking 3 :P

And the only games I want to try out are Far Cry 2, Crysis, BBC2 and possibly Just Cause 2.

AsRock is a good brand. AS stated above, it was an offshoot of Asus. They make budget boards that are full of usefull features such as ddr2 & ddr3 ram on the same board. I had an old skt 939 board that had both agp & pci express x16 slots . It was a great board.

That all runs fine 1080p on 3gb of DDR2 and 1gb on my gts250.

Seems like a good deal to me.
