Help with choice of motherboard for fx-8320

[barnsley]

Hi all I'm looking for a good motherboard for my new system build and I have budgeted around £85 for a new motherboard. However, me being me I don't have much of a clue about it.

Ideally as my rig will be mainly used for gaming and stuff along those lines it'd be nice if I could support crossfire and overclocking. Something like the ASRock extreme 4 maybe?


Ta.

Also no complaining about the processor, I've heard it all before.

Only Board i found with Crossfire/SLi under 80, Should be able to overclock with it decently aswell.

Just pay a little bit more and get something little bit better.

good thing I decided to procrastinate and not get it . I Might get that one instead if I can't find the first board elsewhere

When it comes to a AMD chipset do not cheap out on the motherboard. Intel CPU's have voltage controllers and what not built onto the CPU itself so It's a lot less risky and the performance between low end and high end will be much smaller. Not the case with AMD.. Grab the new Sabbertooth with PCIE3 should be here soon Asus were showing it off at CES.

Also for gaming that FX 8xxx will murder the intel mainstream lineup. It's not a bad chip at all..

Have a look for reduction codes also before making your order, i have seen a few codes that can be used at scan to get free shipping etc.. Check there Facebook page out, or google..
