Help! Where to get a LGA 1366 mobo?

Filthy_dubs · Feb 21, 2014

So my motherboard got fried and im finally getting around to replacing it. I have a MSI X58 Pro-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard....But it seems that they no longer make that mobo or sell it anywhere for that matter. Can you help me find a new 1366 mobo? what would you recommend? Why does newegg only have 2, 1366 mobos?

X58 boards out of date that's why, found only one http://www.amazon.com/CrossFireX-Workstation-Motherboard-P6X58-E-WS/dp/B004RPS010/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393023651&sr=8-2&keywords=lga+1366

I've found another one:

but your best bet would be to buy 2nd hand from ebay or another place - new lga 1366 mobos are very rare and also quite expensive (given little amount of features) and it's probably best getting entirely new cpu + mobo imo.

Okay well i have a Intel i7-950 and i have found a few used motherboards,and its still gonna cost me around $140-$175. Now i have also found an awesome deal on a AMD FX 8350 4GHz AM3+ Black Edition with a motherboard for $210...What would you guys go with? Should i make the switch from my beloved Intel to AMD?

What motherboard comes with 8350?

Filthy_dubs · Feb 25, 2014

ehh just comes with a ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS Socket AM3+ 760G mATX... but i can see if that could be upgraded for a little more $$

8350 is not a good pair!
In my opinion you can sell your i7-960 and buy i5-4430 or 4570 with some cheap b85 chipset
New i5's are faster than two years old i7's here's example http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-990X-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4670K

okay well i have put aside a little extra money towards this little upgrade, so now i think im gonna take the new cpu+mobo route....Now something ive been looking at is the Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5GHz LGA 1150 with a MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate LGA 1150 ATX, how does that sound?? Any other recommendations in the 300-350 range?
