Hey, thanks for taking the time to help. I am on a tight budget atm (first kid on the way) and I'm trying to build a computer for playing not so demanding games. Mostly SWTOR, EVE, and as of yesterday Heroes of the Storm.

I found a deal for an FX-4130 for $50 that I just couldn't turn down. I would like to eventually have a nice rig one day, but thats not going to be possible until the end of this year. But currently I would like a mobo that has crossfire and some kind of overclocking capability. I've never OC'ed before and I figure with this cheap chip I could get in some practice before I get something more high end. What would be a good mobo in the ~$75 range that would be alright for now?

I was looking at this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872

And what we be alright GPUs to play MMOs on high at 720p? I can't buy a good one up front so 2 cheaper ones would be a better option for me.

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Graphics cards:
You need to give a BUDGET for the cards. I recommend NVidia since AMD still hasn't fixed the DX9 Crossfire issue yet.

I also recommend a 2GB card since it's not added with multiple cards it's just cloned so 1GB wouldn't be quite enough IMO.

That narrows it down to this one if $125 is your current max budget though I'm just guessing:

Note that the GTX750 and 750Ti are not SLI capable.
