will cheap motherboards be enough for good parts?

kakava · Nov 25, 2013

Hi people i have a question - if i'm buying for example radeon 7950 (or gtx760 for example) , and A10-6700 X4 cpu , do i need to get a better motherboard? or can go with mid/low end?

Just for example - i buy geforce titan, but cheapest motherboard , will the video card still work at its best capacity? Anyway, why motherboard prices so vary? Almost all stats look the same to me. Thanks!

Cheap mobo doesnt mean bad quality it means less features. Get a decent board with pcie 2.0 if you dont want to OC. I have also tested r9 280x on a damn cheap 400$ system and it ran bf4 on ultra.

ofcourse, i understand that there a different speeds, capacity, slots for ram, number of pci-e slots, other stuff, thats the main reason for price, but sometimes specs are the same , but price vary few times.. Yeah, i dont plan to oc, or sli or nothing like that.

Then get a cheap asus/gigabyte/asrock 70-80$ mobo. What is your budget?

rounakr94 :

budget for all pc or mobo?

rounakr94 · Nov 25, 2013

For mobo since your enquiry is about the mobo

kakava · Nov 25, 2013

well it depends- if it's doesn't really matter, like you say, 70-80 $ would be best price. I have event 50$ in my store (i'm not from USA) So if it's doesn't matter, i'd better spend those ~30$ on other , better components like PS , ram or ssd.

Yeah i forgot to mention please tell me the make and model of your cpu

rounakr94 :

I'm thinking of going with AMD FX-8320 (eight core 3500 MHz) or something in that price range. Also, i dont know how cpus really influence game performance, maybe AMD fx6300 would be good too. Somehow i think in this price range these AMD would be better than intels, that's why i suggesting them.

Fx 6300 would be more than enough for gaming unless you are doing hardcore encoding which requires more power.
Here is a good mobo for 78$: http://m.outletpc.com/sl2921-asus-m5a97-le-r20-amd-970-amd-motherboard.html?utm_source=sl2921-asus-m5a97-le-r20-amd-970-amd-motherboard&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker&utm_content=Asus%2B-%2BMotherboards%20%3E%20AMD%20Socket%20AM3

Just for example - i looked Watchdogs system requirements - FX-8350 recommended , FX-9370 for ultra . And when games will stop coming out on old gen consoles too, i guess all requirements will be higher. Or this shouldn't bother me too much? Probably i should be asking these questions in other sections. Anyway, thanks a lot for helping!
