I am planning to get a Phenom II x4 965 for a new budget gaming build. I was wondering what motherboard I should buy.
I'm not going to be overclocking and I won't ever be running SLI.
Planned specs:
Phenom II x4 965
2x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3-1333 (have)
EVGA Geforce GTX 560
Corsair 750TX 750W (have)
WD Black 1TB SATA
Basic DVD Drive (have)
I don't want to spend over $150 and I DO want it to be a reliable brand (not going ASROCK again).
Also, I've read a lot of reviews and topics about the motherboards I've been looking at it. It seems that some have power issues or even caught on fire.
I've been looking at:
Asus M4A79XTD EVO
Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3
ASUS M4A87TD EVO
MSI 870A-G54
MSI 890FXA-GD65
Would like some opinions please.
