Hello guys, new to the forum and I'm helping my cousin choose parts for his first computer build. His budget is around $850. I got a decent build for him but the total went over his budget around $900+ without including the Monitor -_-. The only piece of hardware I could think of to downgrade is the motherboard.
Requirements I am looking for:
-$100-$120 price range.
-preferably ASUS Motherboards since I've had good personal experience with them but I will also consider others. So please recommend others if need to.
-No need for Overclocking but would be nice if it does
-Supports Intel 3rd or 4th gen processors but if there are better motherboards with AMD support I am willing to consider.
-------------------------
These are a couple motherboards I had in mind:
(Low reviews)Asus B85-PLUS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131996
(Was on my build but to pricey)ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131989
(Low reviews)ASUS P8Z77-V LX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CMDc1v7on7wCFTCCQgod_CUAbg&Item=N82E16813131824&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Intel+Motherboards-_-N82E16813131824&ef_id=UuRdAgAABQocNUY-:20140128022712:s
