Budget board for e8400?

(im on a built) so i was drinking the 30th and i call up my lil sis all drunk and tell her to win a new e8400 processor i was watching on eBay and i won it for 154$ .. the thing is it so messed up my hole budget and now the rest of the parts have to be decent enough for that processor.. so next thing to buy is the motherboard.. and im only up for giving 80$ - 90$ hopefully an atx that will let me oc (well at least @ 3.3 because i´ll get a cooler later on) if not i could also settle with a matx board so i would really appreciate if you help me... recommend me some nice budget boards and post up the buy link from newegg.com thank you buddys.

but i heard the p43s are crippled in some way......?

The only thing crippled in a P43 compared to a P45 is the feature set. No Crossfire support, Max DDR2 1066mhz only, and motherboards are less stable at high frequency. Most P43 should be able to do 400bus speed , you'll only need 370 to get your 3.3ghz.

But then again look at your budget, $80-$90 dollars, so you can't complain that it doesn't have P45 features.

Gigabyte eP45-DS3L

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] =ep45-ds3l

P45 board, solid for overclocking, $80.99 after rebates so technically the same price as the eP43 but better.

exactly!

get a p45 no cheaper no more expensive

the p5q had 8 phase cpu power if you upgrade to a quad and for good stablity

get a nice cooler suh a xigmeteck and clock it 3.8ghz

you can get 4.2 with it but it will not be 100% stable in many cases - more playing with the tuning

3.8 is no brainer

set the 4gb of ram to 2.05-2.1 use Gskill 8000 set latencies to 5-5-5

run it 2:1

slap on the xig and rip up the apps!

what about a p35?

p35 is fine but about the same price

be cautioous with lower end p35 newer mobos do not have good bios support - you want a popular board. if your using a new cpu such as e0 you might get lower fsb due to lack of bios support such as with x38 maximus

p5k wifi

or p5k deluxe . if you can get oem

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $95.99 w/ free shipping

P45 board, $95.99 shipped, can't beat it.

oh so how much with the shipping for:

so if the above +shippin is still cheaper should i stretch still for p45??
the thing is im a total noob at overclocking so is it a difference for me?

There is a $7 difference between that P43 board with shipping and the P45 board with free shipping. If you're going to be overclocking, then that $7 is definitely worth it.

EDIT: All of those boards will take dd2 800
