Hello,
So, I'm trying to find the right mobo for my build. I'll first go over what I will be using it for and then I will list the parts I already have and explanations for those parts (let me know if you have any problems with any of the parts - I can still return them). After that, a few questions.
I generally have 50 Chrome tabs open, a bunch of virtual machines sometimes, several cryptocurrency wallets, and maybe a program or two. I will be running four monitors for multitasking and trading.
The current parts I have are:
CPU: FX-8320 - Bought at a pretty decent price, I think the 8 cores should come in handy for VMs and crypto wallets. Was considering getting an Intel, but Microcenter was completely out of stock of i5's so I snagged this instead.
RAM: Haven't bought RAM yet but will be picking up 16 GB soon.
Storage: 256 GB Samsung 840 Evo - 256 GB will be all I need for storage for awhile, so I decided to just pass on an HDD and just get a nice-sized SSD.
GPU: MDT GeFORCE GT 520 GALAXY 1GB DDR3 4 DISPLAY PCI EXPRESS 2.0 - This GPU will support 4 monitors and I got it for a good price. Not doing anything which demands an expensive GPU, so I think this should be fine.
Case: Plan on buying http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146078 - Plain and professional.
Monitors: One 27" 1080p monitor as the main and three 24" 1080p monitors (one above the 27" and the two other to the sides).
Question time:
I've been considering this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157323
Real cheap and I think it has everything I require. Should I go with this motherboard? Would choosing a higher end motherboard make any difference? Assuming I hadn't mentioned this motherboard, which motherboard would you have recommended?
Edit: how about this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128627&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL012114&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL012114-_-EMC-012114-Latest-_-AMDMotherboards-_-13128627-L08D
Also, would anything I do benefit from overclocking? If so, I guess that would mean a higher end mobo.
Thanks and I appreciate and am open to all suggestions.
