Cheap Pc Setup

[Brennan808]

I am looking at buying the cheapest possible i3 2100 setup i can. I have the ram and other components but the motherboard is my main problem. I found some lenovo m-atx boards for reallitvley cheap so would that work.

do you already have these components in hand or are you just planing on building an i3 system?

Because atm there's a lot better option than an i3

I had a Lenovo K330A that worked great with an i3 2100 and an i7 2600 as well as a GTX 960. If you can find that motherboard it will serve you well.

Everything I already have except for cpu mobo and cpu cooler.

In that case a previous generation high end cpu will do much better than the cheapest current gen

I was saying an i3 2100, I dont need much more than that. The main focus of this thread is if the mobo will be fine for an i3 2100.

the motherboard you've selected costs less than a pizza delivered so if it works for any amount of time then it'll be pretty remarkable.

Why not just get a current gen Pentium and cheap mobo?

Dont need more power and that will easily cost 3x the price for i3 2100 and mobo
