Looking for a Cheap AM3+ Micro ATX Motherboard

brandontolbert17 · Jul 6, 2018

I am wanting a smaller build so I have to buy a new motherboard. I want a Micro ATX motherboard for my build. I did find one about $50 but the seller is no longer selling them. I have an AMD FX 6300, a GTX 1050ti, and 2x4GB ram and I will soon be upgrading to 16GB of ram (so preferably one that supports it lol). Anything would help!

You could find the ASUS M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 for around $50

If you're looking to spend somewhere over $100 already, I would not bother doing anything with an AM3 based system, and instead save further to go with DDR4 and a budget Ryzen system.

The help we can give you is to go with am4 and get rid of FX cpu. it REALLY IS NOT something you want, and if you buy ram (DDR3) for this you will be stuck on inefficient platform for ages. I know you want to get it cheap for now, but you will end up buying exactly this later on:

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($94.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($55.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($87.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $238.96
I see no reason to pay twice for the thing, (buy second stick of ram later to get to 16 GB)

This seems perfect for my build. The case has blue highlights, the motherboard has blue parts, and it's in my budget range! Thanks!
