Hello fellow geeks!

 

So im planning on building a gaming computer using components listed down below but i'm having a problem finding a motherboard that's under 100$ (100€) and that supports components down below. Also i am considering MSI H81M-P33 V2 LGA1150 mATX as my motherboard so please tell me if that is a good or a bad idea.

 

 

The components:

 

PSU - LC-POWER Office LC500H-12 V2.2 500W ATX

Ram - Patriot 8GB DDR3 1333-999 SL 

GPU - ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5 2.0 GB OC  OR GTX750Ti

SDD - Crucial SSD BX100 (CT250BX100SSD1) 250GB                                                                                                                                                                      

CPU - Intel Core i5 4690K BOX procesor, Haswell                                                                                                                                                  

 

 

Thanks for your answers!

Well, considering you are getting the 4690k (k series means it's unlocked) it's a bad idea to get anything other than a z97 chipset motherboard.  I don't believe there are many z97 chipset boards under $100.  Your options are to spend a bit more on a z97 so you can overclock or get the little bit cheaper 4690 cpu (non-k edition) and get an h97 series board.

Thanks for your awesome answer but which of the two choices is better (which one would you choose)?

So i see that you dont like my PSU :D any suggestions on that?

Don't buy PSUs from no name brands, buying the wrong PSU can easily destroy your system especially if you overclock as it's probably made of cheap components.

What's your budget for PSU and do you need semi modular, modular or none?

This PSU is cheap and a lot more reliable than that one, I have used it in many builds and have not seen a dead one yet:
