Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775

[wingman85]

which motherboard is compatible with Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 as of 9/19/10 that are available in the market that cost under $400 USD?

Why would you spend $400 on a motherboard for an outdated CPU?

 

[wingman85]

Because I want the best mobo for that CPU. What mobo do you recommend as of today?

For $400 you can get a mobo and CPU that will blow that QX9775 away.

@daship I know but I already got the CPU. I just want to finish my project so can we stick to the subject and help me find a decent Mobo please.

The qx9775 chip is a xeon chip...not a good gaming chip (if that's what you're going to use it for) check geeks.com for refurbished motherboards...I got an old xfx 790i ultra refurbished for $70.
