Is there any mini itx boards for am3+ cpu's?

 

My parents are going to need a new computer soon, I was thinking of a fx-8350+ 7790 for them, since my mom plays a few games and I think my stepdad would if the computer handled it.

Hmm.

 

1. Get the 8320. It's the same chip at a core level.

2. Get an AM3+ MATX board but make sure you get a cheap SATA II SSD to boot from, offsetting the missing SATA III.

 

Should be easily done on your budget mate. For the case? Fractal Core 1000.

Gorgeous little case that costs mere pennies :)

I wanted to splurdge :P my mom does do some multitasking and stuff, she plays sims 3 and wants to play sims 4 when it comes out, and shes usually on facebook+ and doing a ton of other stuff at the same time. I figured I'd get her something nice that way she can throw anything at it and not have to worry about stuff, my stepdad races mud-trucks and I could teach him how to edit his own videos after his races that way I don't have to do it XD
