My friend is looking to build a new pc and he has his heart set on a Prodigy for the case. I'm trying to get him the best gaming performance for the money and so I though he should go with an 8350, however I'm struggling to find an ITX board to go with it. His budget is around £800 for the whole system.

There are no ITX AM3+ boards in this world, sorry.

Thanks for the info, guess I'll just have to go for an 1150 board then. Probably a 4670 or a 4670k.

Go for the K series regardless the scenario. Even if you don't have plans on overclocking right away, in the future if you decide you would like to, then it's nice to have. Besides, you're talking about the difference in what, 20 USD?

AM3+ socket is physically too large to make a good or even usable ITX board for.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Why not go for the Prodigy M? It seems to be easier to build in than the normal Prodigy and there are m-ATX AMD boards out there. Also, if you do plan on getting an after market cooler or overclocking, I would just go with an 8320. It can overclock to 4GHz right out of the box for $50 less than an 8350.

Wow, that is a pretty expensive build you got there. Anyways, I still think he should stick with the AMD option, will help in multi-threaded tasks more than an i5 in case he ever needs to use them.

Any suggestions for a good M-ATX board for an 8350 or an 8320 then?

Because it's crap? It takes everything good about the Prodigy (mainly air flow) and murders it, then shits on it, then flips it the bird.

even some of the full atx boards get killed by the 8 core amds. also if you could run one in an matx case, apart from maybe a 350d, it would produce way too much heat for any fans in there to remove efficiently, my fx 6200 used to put out loads of heat and that was a 6 core. i had 4 120mm fans in the case for airflow though so it was ok. if you were to build a matx amd system the 7850k would be the best option, but with an £800 budget the op is better off going with an i5

 if you go with non K cpu,which is fine,go with 4570 not 4670.if you consider 4670 might as well go with the K one
