Recommend me the Best mATX Mobo!
I am buying a computer off someone and can swap out the current Mobo installed to anything I want before the sale goes through.
Can anyone recommend me the best microATX (mATX) motherboard for gaming (just casual medium res, L4D2, WoW, etc).
The MOBO must be compatible with:
4gb DD2 Ram
Geforce GTS 250 PCI-E
LGA775 CPU Socket
550 Watt PSU
Thanks everyone, I stopped following computer hardware as I got older, so I don't know what's good and what's not anymore.
I am limited to mATX mobos as I am keeping the mATX case.

If you are not OCing and the present mobo has all the connections that you need, then why change?

Agreed. If you're not looking for any additional features why switch? Intel makes quality motherboards.
