meh, theres nothing wrong with a used board either tbh. id say saveing the money and getting a used one is vastly better value

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

well i would have payed the same amount of money

well i paid like $40 for a ASUS P67 Sabertooth($40 in the drain) and you could probably get a similar quality board for around that too.

uhh I guess. Personally how I usually shop is by buying the cheapest motherboard with my chosen socket and the features I need, regardless of the brand. You probably could've gotten a cheap Intel Z68 board for $50.

not in the UK. They are hard to find
