Hi guys. My head is exploding here of all the choices i see online, sadly whenever i find a suitable mobo, after reading reviews i end up closing the browser tab.
I will be upgrading my QX9650 to a shiny new 8350. I could hardly push my intel to 3.66Ghz on Zalman 9900NT, but it wasn't really stable OC. Most of games actually runs better on stock 3.0... bad batch, i guess.
I am also recording 720p video and streaming 480p, this is the best i can do with current CPU and my games are already suffering. On top of that i have P7N2 diamond mobo, which is absolute rubbish with 790i ultra sli chipset... so many bad memories.
Also i got 8GB corsair memory 1600Mhz (currently at 1333Mhz due to bad mobo stability)
And GTX 670 OC
Anyways,
I am looking for a mobo:
Under 100 euros
SATA 3 6Gbps
USB 3.0 + front panel USB 3.0 port
I don't plan SLI. Used to have SLI and quad-sli, never again.
I am planning to OC to 4.5Ghz and stay there. 4.8Ghz would be nice, but 4.5Ghz should be enough for years.
on-board audio
think that's it...
What i found so far:
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (outside my budget for 10 euros, gah.. also unnecesary SLI/Xfire)
Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard (i like he price of this one)
ASRock 970 Pro3
Asrock extreme 3
Oh and will be getting noctua nh cooler, if it matters.
