Motherboard advice

After a solid fortnight of abuse I'm going to get rid of the Biostar TA970 motherboard I bought for my budget gaming build. I'd like to replace it with something that is cheap, does have a USB 3.0 header and is compatible with a FX6300 and a Sapphire R7-265 graphics card.

I won't be overclocking and I'm new to PC building so ease of use would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

The GA-970A-UD3P would be a great option because it has USB 3 in addition to a high-quality 8+2 vrm design that is sure to stand up to anything an FX 6300 can throw at it.

Gigabyte, Msi, Asus. any board from those manufacturers should do you well.

I think you mean "take from it"

Ryan, I noticed your picture. I'll also be using that case :)

How much is that board

I love the Source 210 :wub:

 

The mobo can be found around $80: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128651

It's the cheapest, so no great chipset benefits, just basic functionality.

 

If you need better consider the http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00CX4MUCC/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1410107176&sr=8-2&keywords=GA-970A-UD3P&condition=new

 

I'd go for the GA-970A-UD3P myself
