Dead motherboard

Go to solution Solved by Fasauceome,

Cheap H81 and B85 motherboards from eBay would be the best place to look.

Hey, my lga1150 motherboard died recently and I am debating on whether I should get a cheap used one somewhere or buy new. I'm leaning towards just buying a cheap one for now but I'm having a hard time finding one. Question what mb do I get and where do I get it ? Thanks in advance :)

 

EDIT: by buying new I meant buying new cpu ram and mb combo.

Depends on the features you need and what chip you have

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Considering I had an old motherboard that came from a prebuilt pc I won't need much. I have an i7-4770

What do you think would be the max price I should be paying for one of these?

 

Thanks for the replies.

You can get some for as low as like $35 or $40. Making sure you have enough USB ports and SATA ports is a good idea as well, and that it comes with an I/O shield
