Super budget lga 1155 motherboard

[Fearless247]

Hello, I'm trying to put a super cheap build together for my friend. It will be lga 1155 and the cpu we will be using will be a I5 3470, paired with a gtx 950. The problem is the motherboards for lga 1155 are still around $60. I have looked at some people using oem boards from dell or lenovo. Could anyone who knows point me in the right direction for the best cheap motherboard for my purpose. Also requirements from the board include: standard cooler mounts, fit in standard case, use standard atx psu, have a pci x16 slot, and 4 ram slots if possible. thanks in advance

Use a Mini-ITX Board, they go for around £25-£30 here in the UK. I am on the verge of buying one myself currently. Not sure what the market is like in the US though.

I thought of that as well, but it seems any board worth its salt is still going for about $45 where I am, and then we would be confined to 2 ram slots. We already have 4 2gb ram sticks that we would like to use if at all possible, and an 8gb (2x4gb) kit is still going for about $40 where I am. but I do appreciate the reply and its probably going to be the route we go if we can't find any other viable alternative.

Honestly, these come up quite a lot from here in the UK. Nothing wrong with that board. Just watch out for customs charges as that would be coming from China.
