Best Budget Motherboard for FX 8350

[jossetteanne]

Hello and good day!

I am currently working on and looking for parts to complete my rig but unfortunately, I am on a tight budget. So, I would like to ask you guys what would be the best deal for me on a motherboard for 120$ max for an FX 8350 processor.

Current Parts:

Mobo: [Insert Here]
CPU: AMD FX 8350
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
PSU: FSP Raider 650w
Graphics: Radeon HD 7850 (skeptical about this)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)
HSF: CM Hyper 212 Evo

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your reply, kind sir!

I was also considering picking up that one. Though my other choices were Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, which is about 5$ more compared to Extreme 3 in the Philippines, and the F2A85-V PRO, though it says that it supports up to 4 cores only from the spec link [Click Here.].

I would definitely get that UD3, it has a much higher quality VRM design.

I see. Thank you very much for the tip! Are there other features wherein the UD3 is better than the extreme 3 aside from the VRM design? The look of the UD3 board is pretty slick too, but asrock's 555 xfast feature seems pretty useful for me. Thanks again for the help!

xfast RAM only lets you create a virtual disk with your RAM and xfast USB only helps sequential reads significantly, the others don't change a lot.

The UD3 has a more robust BIOS, a DUAL-BIOS, a more powerful USB header to charge your phone or other USB devices faster, and it's just a better board in general.

F2A85-V PRO not kind of motherboard for your CPU. it is socket FM2/A Series.
I see u want the price 120$ max, so Asrock Extreme 3 meet to your purpose. it's supports 8-core cpu.

You should think what do you really want from them(motherboard) then you can have the best choice for self.
