HELP! Need a mobo.

[brendz155]

Hey guys, I need hepl chosing a good budget mobo.

It must have DDR3.

Must have overclocking options. And UCC/ACC, not to fused though.

I just want to upgrade to DDR3


And I plan on putting a GT240, AMD II X3 445, 2-4GB DDR3-1333, and a SATA2 320GB HDD.

Thanks!

Thanks!

With that CPU {Core Unlocker} work off this list and the higher the number the chipset the newer - http://usa.asus.com/FeatureList.aspx?PG_ID=mKyCKlQ4oSEtSu5m&F_ID=7131

I'd rather someone recommend me a good budget mobo.

 

[jaquith]

Define 'your' budget? Do you plan to replace your GT 240 with different nVidia and require an SLI MOBO? Otherwise this is a guessing game.

 

[brendz155]

I plan on keeping my GT240, and I dont want to SLI.

 

[brendz155]

Well I'd have to say <£60 as I have already spent £150.

 

[jaquith]

Depending on the excahnge Rate:
$135 ASUS M4A89GTD PRO
$120 ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
$95 ASUS M4A78T-E

$95 = £60 ; but the prices vary Country to County - I'm in the US.

 

[brendz155]

I had a look on Ebay, and the cheapest was £89 T_T

 

[brendz155]

Any cheaper ones.

 

[jaquith]

Did you look at the online stores, most them have Rebates. Also, you don't want an nVidia GPU with an on-board ATI GPU. After this MOBO then you ran out of the ability to unlock the 4th core.

ASUS M4N75TD

 

[brendz155]

Dude, I said <£60, that board is £79.

 

[jaquith]

Dude you POSTED on the US site! I have ZERO idea where you are or where you shop. You are a 'Regular' and can look-up from the FULL ASUS list and price everyone. If you require a cheaper MOBO then forget about unlocking the core and pick ANY AM3 ASUS you can afford.

Comprendo?! -> http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/forum-12-185.html

$95 ASUS M4A78T-E
$99 ASUS M4N75TD
$95 = £60

Good Luck!

I'm from UK, and I'm on the .co.uk Tom's.

 

[jaquith]

^NO, you posted in the WRONG place {look at your link} -> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/283493-30-help-mobo

I'm attempting to help, I have access to USA pricing and then I have to screw around to take USD $ and convert them into your currency £ which is a pain...then I get your 'remarks'!

Thanks!

 

[brendz155]

This is my link.

[jaquith]

Then the Forum screwed-up because BOTH links work. The pricing between the UK and US is different ; it seems cheaper here in the US.

Hopefully, you understand now?!

Look as ASRock they're cheaper and owned by ASUS. ASRock http://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp you have to look for 'core unlocker' {GM series}.
ASRock 760GM-GS3
ASRock 785GM-S3 {no idea of price; new}
ASRock 890GMH/USB3 {no idea of price; new}

 

[brendz155]

Thanks but I could not find any of those boards on ebay.

 

[brendz155]

Any more guys, can anyone from the UK suggest me one.

 

[brendz155]

I have no clue T_T

 

[brendz155]

Someone help me.
