Motherboard for AMD A10 6800K?

Mocsy · Jan 28, 2015

Hi,
I'm trying to build my own gaming PC and I'm planning to get a A10-6800K ad my CPU and a DDr3 1866mhz 4GB RAM(Not exactly sure what brand yet), but I'm not sure what motherboard I should use. I would like to know what my options for motherboard under $60 are that are compatible with my CPU and RAM.
Thanks

when buying AMD cpus stick to ASUS and Gigabyte motherboards.

for a10 apus, stick to a88x chipset motherboards

and if you plan to overclock make sure it has solid vrm cooling (heatsinks).

What do you recommend, a ATC or mATX, considering this is gonna be a gaming pc. Not too sure what the difference between the two is other than fewer PCI slots on the mATX

yet again, when buying motherboards for AMD cpus get ASUS or Gigabyte boards and make sure they're a88x chipset boards. ASROCK motherboards on the apu platform are a legit firehazard, and msi boards are junky and tend to break down.

I was looking around and found these two ASUS mobos, both A88X chips.

But I'm not sure if they are good

I would definitely recommend the ATX because you get more airflow so your pc won't overheat while gaming.

The second one is better.
