Hi guys what is the best matx Gigabyte motherboard and AMD cpu out there at the moment?

I will be using it for windows 7, xbmc and downloading.

Ant replies appreciated

best gigabyte mobo is hard to say, they are pretty much all great!
i bought this one --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813128455
and its flawless so far!

about the cpu, depends on what u want to do,
usually, the ATHLON X2 250 is more then enough for an HTPC setup...

hope this helps

thanks eeskro keep up the good work no matter what other people say

eskro raises the right point, that the "best" is really a subjective term. If all you want is a smooth as can be 1080p experience, then you can trust that 760G board and X2 250 to deliver. But it's hardly the best board or chip in terms of overall features or performance. If you intend to use this box for gaming and encoding then you can make some upgrades.

I would agree these are great parts, but if your system demands are pretty low, don't ignore Atom (ION) and Zacate systems as these can be made in much smaller form factor, much lower power, lower heat, and lower noise levels.
