Mobo/CPU on a Budget

Trick289 · Aug 6, 2013

Looking for a good Mobo/CPU combo for a First Build.. Looking to spend about 250.. Looking at Asus M5A99fX Pro R2.0. And AMD FX6300. Looking for suggestions.

if you want to go amd then your selection of mobo and cpu are good

Everyone keeps telling me Asus/AMD. So I leaned that way

asus is a good motherboard brand but its not the only good one. and normally when your on a smaller budget amd gives you more bang for your buck. but another great brand and cheaper option of mother board would be

BN91 Thanks for help.. Gives me something to look at. Would you stay with same CPU ? For General wrk, Internet, Video Streaming and getting into some lite gaming
Later on

Your combo should be good for you, the 6300 OCs fairly well and the mobo can handle it

yea with that cpu youll be able to do all those things. and as trades said it overclocks well to. combine that with a gpu and youll play games just fine

hope you enjoy your new mobo / cpu!

Drop a line to let us know how the build comes out

Trick289 · Aug 6, 2013

I will do that. Those were the last 2 pieces I wasn't 100 % sure about.
The build is going in a Cooler Master HAF 912.

Tradesman1 · Aug 6, 2013

Good choice with the HAF, Love their mid-towers, am putting my Z87 in a 922
