I am looking for a good budget mobo, no more than $130. It needs to have SLI capability, at least 2 SATA ports, DDR3 RAM, and support for GTX 660 graphics and an Intel Pentium G4560 CPU. Thanks.
 
Socket LGA 1151 motherboards that use DDR3L-1333, DDR3L-1600 are discontinued so you are going to have to do some hunting to find one of those for sale.

If you find such a motherboard, no doubt you will also need a BIOS update to run a 7th Generation CPU. This may require you to buy a 6th Generation CPU.

I suggest you forget about using DDR3 and get DDR4-2400MHz and an Intel 200 Series Chipset motherboard.

I have adjusted my preference, and I want to keep my FM2-A55M-E33 msi mobo and was wondering if that would need a BIOS update to run the Pentium on it? Thanks.
