Current cheapest board recommended for FX 8 core http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970aud3p
$85 is a little too much. I am looking in the $40-$60 area. Would this motherboard work well?: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130722&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
This is
one reason why we do not recommend others to purchase the FX 8000 series.
You need a decent motherboard for the FX 8000 series because it is inefficient and it stresses the motherboard. If you use anything below that you are at a couple of risks. Even the $85 will not overclock well and you should not overclock with a cheap motherboard. A $60 motherboard is a no go for overclocking.
I would highly recommend you to save up $25 (not very much...)
However if you have no other choice this is the minimum you should go with:
ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0
