MotherBoard

Hardware Hub Motherboards

Hey Guys,

I am currently in the process of doing a budget build PC and I was recomended certain hardware for this build by people on this site.

The build consists of an AMD FX-6300 processor, Raedeon 7850 gpu, and then all the other normal stuff.

However, the motherboard in which i was meant to be getting has been discontinued from the site that i am buying everything from. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3.

I would like to know what mother board to get in replacement for that. I dont mind going a little bit more expensive, but anything over and extra 50 dollars will be too much.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, thankyou for the fast reply. I should have been more specific with my price, haha, the original board was like, 150 from the site i was buying it from.

I have that board. Be glad you didnt get it.  My ram won't run at full speed, some of the VRMs dont have a heatsink, and the ones that do still get too hot.

save yourself trouble and get an asus board, what's your total budget?

I would like to keep the price of the motherboard around $130-150. I have no clue what to look for in motherboards as they are all the same.. The only thing I really understand is ATX, and socket size..
