That is the motherboard I am currently looking at. I want a motherboard that is cheap, but will work properly with these parts. I do not need SLI support.
The parts that are worth zero I already bought, so the case, ram, and the PSU I have. I also want to add a ssd later.
Is there a better alternative to the motherboard I have?
