Hey guys!

I'm planning a build for a friend and would like some recommendation on what motherboard to get. It will be overclocked and will go along with a saphire r9 280. (cheapest one in Hungary) The only thing is i don't know what motherboard support overclocking and how well they do it.

 

Thanks for the help!

Intel core I5 4460, Gigabyte H97M-HD3, Gigabyte gtx 760, 8 GB corsair value ram, Thermaltake core v21, Thermaltake Smart 630W PSU

Alcatel OneTouch D5... IT WORKS!!

MSI B85 Gaming is an excellent motherboard. YOu need to update the bios to overclock the CPU though

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Don't ask for cheapest, get the best value. The before mentioned B85M Gaming from MSI has excellent features like a 105dB (measured) SNR onboard audio.

I agree.

 

If you are willing to lose front USB3, there's also the MSI H81M-P33.
