Can anyone tell me if there is a decent gaming motherboard out there for under £100?

    Low budget price
    Support for AMD athlon 760k
    Long lasting

Thanks ahead of time!

Erm .... weird choice of CPU , thats a FM2 socket , so its a fusion board which tends to be availible for smaller systems or hybrid graphics .... do you already have this CPU ??

Probably wouldnt be the one i would buy for a dedicated game build i'd probably aim for somthing on an AM3+ or Intel equivalent socket

Is this for a Micro build ?? if so reasonable boards include

full size i'd probably aim for

but It definately wouldnt be my place to start a build with an APU technolology CPU

No I don't have it yet, but thanks for letting me know. I've just realised i was going to get an AMD fx-6300. Is that any better?

I'm also planning a full size gaming pc so that board looks good, but will is it compatible with an fx-6300?
