Tell me any motherboard which has good life for AMD Athlon II X4 620 for 3k
I am exhausted really exhausted for searching mb on the net. I'm asking for mb for 3k because i reached my budget limit. My current config is
AMD ATHLON II X4 620 2.60GHZ
Western Digital 500GB
Transcend 2GB DDR2 800MHz
Altec Lansing BXR 1121
Zebronics Red Power 500W
APC 550VA
Zotac 9600GT 512MB

A cheaper mb will do for me..please...:sad:

Dont worry much , the AMD Athlon II X4 620 is backward compatible with socket AM2+ motherboards.
ASUS M3A78-EM retails at 4.5k

Just add 1k more as desiibond said, seriously.. you'll have much more to choose from.

ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI & Biostar all are in 4-5k range.

IMO, if your budget really cannot be increased anymore, you can do with ASUS M3A78-EM's onboard graphics as its decent enough. And throw in an ATI card (which come cheaper ) later on. Also try to put in a better power supply down the line. The quad core requires a better power supply than substandard stuff offer.

How much is your total budget exactly ?

Biostar TA790GXBE is available for 4K and is a 790GX board with a very good IGP!
