I am looking to build a mid-level gaming pc on a budget. I have all of the parts chosen except the motherboard. My budget for the motherboard is about $100, and preferable it will have the ability to upgrade to an 8-core processor. Durability and reliability is also very important to me. I have heard a lot about the GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P, as well as the ASRock 960GM/U3S3
Here is my list of parts:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($118.49 @ Amazon)
Memory: Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($83.23 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.44 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GT 640 2GB Video Card ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Case: NZXT Gamma Classic (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Antec 450W ATX Power Supply ($38.24 @ Amazon)
Other: Mini hdmi to hdmi cable ($7.00)
Total: $431.38
