Hey guys!

 

before I get in to this, I know intel is stronger/better per-core but I don't personally care. thanks for trying to get me the best of the best.

But i'm going with the AMD FX-6300...

 

So, I need a motherboard that is Overclocking capable. I'm not in need a msi gaming mobo or anything like that

I'd like to keep it under the 70-80$ mark.

 

It must have usb 3.0

 

overclocking capability

 

sli/cross fire capability ( i perfer crossfire because i'm not going to be having any higher-end cards anytime soon )...

Why would you go with less performance just because you want an AMD CPU? The i3-41-- is far better than most AMD CPU's. Please do yourself a favor and get an i3, you can get an i3 and any B85 / H97 motherboard for like sub 180$. Please do yourself a favor and get an i3, the overclocking WILL NOT make up for the lesser performance per core.

That's actually funny, I remember when I was about to build my first PC I bought a 970 board and was saving up to get a 9590 because back then I thought GHz and cores where the only things that matter, then I learned that I wouldn't work so I sold the motherboard, best choice I have made in all my times being into computers.
