Guys, my mobo just died on me a few days back and I need a temporary(cheap?) substitute for the same until it has been repaired from the service center.My budget is between 3-5k. My PC config is in my signature. Thanks in advance.

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P for ~2500.

Forgive my ignorance but can you point out the main difference between this mobo that you suggested and 880GM USB3?

i thought you just needed a cheap replacement until your mobo comes back.880G is twice costlier(~5000) & has more features.
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1)

HD 3xxx series GPU vs HD 4290..
That is the main difference

he already has 6870 so this won't matter.that's why i posted the specifications for both mobos so op can check them for details.in any case he just need it temporarily until his mobo return from service centre.

There is no point of getting a 5K Motherboard as short time replacement motherboard. Get the GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1) as suggested.

Whitestar is right, I don't need onboard graphics since I already have a 6870. I compared the two mobo's and they are almost the same. Going to buy it today. Thanks for the recco whitestar.
