Hi, I recently bought an Asus r9 270x directCU II TOP and it appears that my old mobo doesn't support pci-E 3.0 :\.
My current specs are:
* Asus r9 270x directCU II TOP
* Antec HCG-620M
So I need a motherboard, CPU and RAM. Can anybody recommend me these components, that are compatible and work well with my 270x?
I'm not looking for a super high-end build, the less money I use, the better. Maybe an Ivy bridge i3 CPU + a corresponding mobo?
Update: About how much I'm willing to spend... The most important things are that 1) the mobo is compatible with my 270x (old one wasn't); 2) CPU doesn't bottleneck the GPU in most gaming situations.
But to give an exact number... I guess I could spend about 200 pounds (for the CPU+mobo+RAM).
And I would prefer Intel CPUs (haven't really never used AMD nor heard anyone of my aquaintances use it, maybe there's a reason for it), but I will look into the FX-6300.
