Hi,

Getting a new motherboard and CPU for my birthday, and I don't know which one to get.

I am looking for a total price (CPU + motherboard) around £130-150.

On my PC I play: DayZ, Battlefield 3+4, Skyrim, Watch_dogs, titanfall, Crysis 1+2, Minecraft, Civ 5

I use my PC for: heavy gaming, programming, film watching.

Looking for a Micro ATX motherboard, that can hold up to 16GB with 4 slots. *Optional* -> U.S.B 3.0 slot

I want to stick under £150, that includes the motherboard and the CPU.

Thanks.
