    Asus M4A78-EM any good?

    Thinking of getting one of these for a media centre build, could i do better for the price?

    Initially i'll be fitting my X2 7750 but upgrading to a Phenom 2 might not be out of the question at a later date.

    Could i do better for a similar price?

    It looks pretty nice for the price and is a relative of the well regarded Asus M3A78-EM. The only other competitor would be the Nvidia 8300 based motherboards as the 790GX based ones cost more.
