What motherboard should I get

[13hanifz]

So I need help as I'm getting the amd a10 7850k a top spec apu and a r9 280x but now I need a mobo to wrap it all together. I am going to do some light bitcoin mining and over clocking but I don't want it to be too expensive. My budget is about £350 or 400$ and I only want the motherboard to be to be about 50ish to 60ish pounds or about 75 dollars

a10 7850k will not be able to handle r9 280x really well.

[13hanifz]

If you don't know the r9 280x or any r9 ..x are good bitcoin miners on a budget

Yeah, wait for zen architecture or go intel

Bitcoin mining is useless these days unless you are using ASIC hardware

y not, so should I get a 8350 or 8320

I haven't fully build a pc since the q6700 extreme edition and 8800 ultra were a thing but I have done repairs on others and replacement parts

Go Intel. It crushes AMD in gaming.

You cant crossfire Kaveri with 280(x).

Only with r7 cards, an intel cpu and 280(x) would crush that.

but it doesn't crush in integrated graphics. Say I was going to go Intel what should I get for £120ish pounds or 150ish dollars

Yeah true. But you have a 280(x)..

So the Igpu is turned off. On the AMD and Intel. That's how GPUs work.

I havent brought them yet it's what I am going to by in a couple of days

II think the fx 8320 would be good and get a good heating and overclock to match the performance of the 8350

You will be A LOT happier with a intel i5.

Just get the cheapest fourth gen i5 and throw it in a h97 board.

The i5 isn't in my budget. The 8320 is a good prosessor and with my r9 280x it will be a beast of a machine also I'm a overclock so h97 won't work and Intel k or x unlocked processors are well out of my budget

Then get an i3.

Just don't get fx, for the love of God.

I3s r rubbish I had one, there only dual core and hypathreading but I prefer real 8 cores

[Nena Trinity]

Try a ASUS or MSI. Also do not mount a better GPU than 280X to that CPU its a waste. =)

Infact the max it should handle is a 960 or 280 not X but some games it may manage to use it fully. (SOME GAMES!)

I do have seen cases where it handles well with a 290X but then the game does not eat to much CPU.

My budget just got a cut so the most I can afford is a fx 6300 but still it's great
