Pick a mobo for me

MichaelMcGrade · Sep 10, 2014

Hi there, I am looking at building a budget school/gaming PC. I'm not looking to max out any settings, it's really just for: DOTA, WoW and Minecraft. I'm unsure on what to pick in terms of the motherboard, I'm looking to spend no more than £60, $100? (must be compatible with Intel Pentium G3258, LGA1150). Also, would you make any changes/ do you have any recommendations for parts?

ASRock Z97 Anniversary Socket 1150

I think that one goes well with G3258

Would you wnat to overclock with G3258?If not,I think you should get other better cpu,like I5 or E3.If you want to overclock with G3258,I would prefer Msi Z97 pc mate,I use it with G3258 to overclock up to 4.7Ghz.

And it has good performance, you can consider about that board.
