I have an i5 3570k cpu and a hd 7770 gpu. What mobo should I use in the price RANGE of $50.00 - $100.00. Of course the computer is used for gaming. I'very never really dealt with mobo's so I'm kind of in the dark. You may need to save a bit more cabbage...

PERSONALLY i prefer either ASUS or Gigabyte for iNtel CPU's...You have any specific mobo in mind? I've looked through a couple msi mobo's but I can't find one with the lga 1150 that supports 3rd Gen and have the pcie 2.0 X 16 slot. I'd steer clear of any MSI MBoards...

Newegg.com is a good place to price compare both ASUS and Gigabyte...

With MSI you would be scrimping on one of the most important PC components...Could you link me one? I can't find one with the 2.0 X 16 plus the right chipset.I'd recommend something from gigabyte or ASUS with a Z77 chipset.  This chipset is required to allow you to OVERCLOCK the 3570k if you want that ability in the future.You may STRUGGLE to find many 1155 boards to buy these days as they're no longer in production due to Ivy Bridge being end of life.
Newegg have a couple of Asus P8Z77-V models available refurbished for $80 which seems like a decent deal to me."*censored*"   ? ? Quote from: patio on March 17, 2015, 05:51:14 PM
