What is the best Motherboard/CPU pair I can get for under 120?

Question

This is a first time budget build, so I need something good, reliable, and cheap.

Any thoughts?

And please don't tell me to just browse on newegg or something,

cause that's what im already doing, just need a second opinion.

Answer 1

you cant find anything to good for that cheap but obviously you are on a pretty tight budget so i would recommend this

it isn't great but you should be able to upgrade it fairly easiy in the future. you can read the reviews and see if you think it will fit your needs.

Answer 2

I would suggest an AMD motherboard and processor.  Maybe a 740G and an Athlon X2 5200+, but it depends on what you want to use it for.  A 780G would be a much better choice for an HTPC build.

Answer 3

asus p5b mx solo wifi...under $100

Answer 4

i wouldnt spend less than 300 on a motherboard alone.

and good reliable and cheap dont go together.  save up money
