Cheap AM3+ Mobo?

[Stephen_]

I have been thinking of upgrading for a while now, but I keep going off track because of work and moving house as well. So i wanted the opinions from you guys of a cheap but good AM3+ mobo.   I would prefer the price in GBP as I am from Britain  

 

Minimum Specs 

 

4 ddr3 memory slots

3 pcie slots (i might lose a GPU out of my system if this raises the price too much)

USB 3 header

no bigger than ATX

 

Fan headers would be nice but I do have an 'okay' fan controller built in to my case.

 

Thanks guys.

How much do you mean with "cheap"? 

[SSOB]

Cheap AMD board rarely have support for SLI so what GPU are you using?

A maximum spend of £170 to £200 if it is worth the stretch

I'm running 6970's in trifire, as one of my friends gave me the second and third one from when they upgrades a while back

I'm not sure about the price on that one but it does have more upgradability (if that's a word) but I will see what my pay check bring me at the end of the month

Good looks do not really bother me when I'm on a budget, but when I have more money I will defiantly mind

So your getting the asrock board?

All up to how much money I have left after my bill etc.

I'd grab the gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 of the Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 instead as they support running the cards in 16x 8x 8x so you won't get one card being bandwidth starved unlike the asrock.

eh that mobo is aight the vrm heatspreader is realy high so you cant mount a 120/140mm rad in the rear of your case or have big aircoolers.

Would prefer the m5a99x evo over the m5a99fx pro? They're identical in pricing on amazon right now
