Make sure to buy a new PSU. Unless it is a namebrand PSU that comes with the case.

ASUS A8N-SLI-Deluxe $151


If tech support is important to you, you may want to reconsider the mobo. Go over to Asus and look at the mobo page, then try to find answers to a problem (say no boot issue). Last 2 weeks that I have been there, most of the support site was down.

A few posts from here-

Need help! Won't boot.

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Beeping problem

Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe

Reboots During initial install- not your board but you'll see how I tried to get support at Asus and kept running into walls.


I would also check google advanced for reviews of the board, and also use "problems" or "issues" as search terms; to see if others are having issues with this board.

So what will you do if you can't get support for his board?
