What Motherboard Should I Buy?

Sami Elamin · Sep 21, 2017

Hey. Looking for a good motherboard for 50 dollars or less (50 is max no more). I have an intel i3-4170, a gtx 550 ti, and 8 gigs of ram. trying to play games like Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, and Rocket League. Please make sure the case can fit it. Dimensions of case is at the bottom of this link along with everything else besides pcu (got a new one): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AJ3T24619&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+PC-_-9SIA0AJ3T24619&gclid=CjwKCAjwxo3OBRBpEiwAS7X62aoEOQLn3Mw6K1EzKQ6s-hA8KIeMpw6RlTza-X_ND-HeFwloCntWbxoC90IQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

ddr3 or ddr4?

This is the only MB I can find that is <$50, but you will need an old cpu to update the BIOS to support I3-4170...

8gb ddr3, right? I think you may be able to get a used MB instead. Let me do some search.

This is the cheapest new one that does not need bios update:

Plenty used on ebay for <$50, but you need some luck.

vapour :

also, i read that most of the bios for motherboards are already up to date and that its rare that you need to update it. is this true?

1080p med-high should be fine, overwatch is little demanding

Sami Elamin · Sep 21, 2017

vapour :
