Hi guys, i m from vizag (AP), i wan 2 build a gaming pc. The beast is - proved i5-760. I scratched alot & made this decision now. Actually i m going 2 use my rig for 3D gaming also. So a lot of money is going 2 b for 3d arrangements also. So no room for boutique stuff in other than processor.processor & motherboard will b new. Ram , disk & peripherals (mayb GPU-460 & PSU also) i m going 2 search for secong hand. Now the only thing i will not get second hand is - motherboard. So plz run yor horses & suggest me a best budget Mobo.
On the contrary Amd rig has very cheap mobo- 4.8 K. With x4 945. But x4 is pricing as much as i5. So y not get an i5.
Is theh any mobo for gaming for approx ± 4.5 K (best if lower). No sli/crossfire, as it wud again add up 2K (otherwise ASUS P7P55D Deluxe -7500Rs was best: for public info).
Does nybody hav idea any second hand stuffs in vizag?
So the target- <± 4.5 K gaming motherboard for i5-760. All suggestions r most welcome with bunches of thanks.
