I'm on a tight budget and I really need a mobo that will support the amd fx-8350, I was going to get the Asus M5A78L-M LX Plus but it requires a BIOS update and I'm building my computer from scratch so I don't have a CPU to flash the bios on that board. If anyone knows of a mobo that will support the cpu i would be grateful. My price range is 54.99-75.99 I know it's unlikely I will find a good quality mobo but I really am on a tight budget ;\

Get this board and forget about overclocking at this price point. You simply get every feature in this price range.

I hope this helps. If you can increase your budget then we might be able to get something better.
