Hi guys, I'm finding it hard to find some good MoBos so I thought this would be the best place to ask. I have a Cooler Master Elite 130, gtx 760, 600W corsair PSU and AMD fx 4100. Any suggestions on the best mini-atx for my set up (I also hope to upgrade to an Fx 8350 in the future so any MoBos that would support this upgrade would be greatly appreciated) any mobo with USB 3.0 etc under (if possible) £60 . Thanks in advance, YMY
Best AMD mini-atx for FX 4100

Thats a shame. I'm not too good on understanding the whole AM2/+/3 deal, but I have another MoBo thats not mini that is AM2 and AM3 ready i believe. Is the FX 4100 AM2 and the FX 8350 AM3 and so getting a AM2 mini atx would allow me to use my FX 4100 but limit me from upgrading in the future? Also, is there any suggested release date of an AM3 ready mini itx? Thanks for the answer, YMY
Thanks for the answers. My last question would be AMD or Intel. I have looked up both for mini ITX's and they both come out at around £130 for the CPU (AMD A10 7850K / i5 4440) and MoBos for £40. As they are the same price, which would have better performance for a mini ITX?
AMD is advancing the a-series/fm2+ line.
MSI A88XM-E45 FM2+ micro atx $73 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130745 you would need a different mobo if you want higher speed ram than the supported 2133mhz.

Definitely Intel, their CPUs have superior performance per core: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4440-vs-AMD-A10-7850K

As others have said, there are no AM3+ mini-ITX boards. The AM3+ socket is just too big and power hungry. Intel is generally better. I'd recommend an LGA 1150 Intel MiniITX motherboard.
The Pentium G3220 is the closest CPU in performance to an FX-4100, so that's an option on a very tight budget.
The i3-4130 is stronger than the FX-4100, more similar to an FX-4300 or FX-6300.
An i5-4430 is the Intel equivalent to an FX-8350.
An i5-4440 is way stronger than an AMD 7850K. It's not even close.
