Just a lol build

[SeaGem]

Hey, I'm looking for a cheap as fudge cpu and mobo like both under £100 combined easily gettable in the UK

Idc what it is like a cheap celeron with a rlly cheap mobo (with or without ram, i have 16 gigs of old ddr3 from a ded pc, cause of death, pin snapped off even though the cpu was seated properly...?)

or if u know an lga1150 board (i think) for an old i5 processor then thats cool! here is what i currently got

 

yes this is overkill for celeron but idc i just wanna build my first pc

 

650w psu idk what tho

i5 idk what tho

16gb ram ddr3 idk what tho

br0ke case fans but some work

case idk what tho

gtx 760 (bros old one, got replaced with gtx 1060)

wifi card

idk off the top of my head anything else

 

i cant check and sorry for this turning really informal, i'm tired

I'm confused, if you have all of that then you're just looking for a cheap motherboard correct? What is this about celerons?

I mean, since as Linus said (lol) when mobos die they can take other stuff with them, so we don't actually know if this i5 (LGA1151) works so a cheap celery would work

Technically they could, but I would try your i5 in a new motherboard first since if it is still working then an i5 will be a lot better performance. I'd check eBay for motherboards if you want to go cheap. Just make sure it fits in your case. A micro atx motherboard should be fine and you can find them for ~50-100 USD not sure what that is in £. Only other thing you'd need that you don't have listed is a hard drive.

Yep as I said, I may have forgotten some items, but yeah I have a HDD with W10 installed since its a used pc that died recently, but the case sure can fit a mATX and ATX

Thanks for the help, Chad

Also, you said in your original post that it's a lga 1150, and in your comment that its a 1151. Make sure you check the processor (the model should be clearly printed on the front of the chip) to make sure you get a compatible motherboard. Skylake, Kaby Lake, and Coffee Lake are all technically LGA 1151 but aren't usually cross compatible except in some cases with bios updates, etc.

Whoops, it's def a 1150

Alright, in that case you should be slightly safer. Just definitely look it up to be sure.

Happy to help!

This seems good

It's 40 bucks on amazon and it has 2 DDR3 DIMMs, a PCIe 1x and 16x and the lga 1150 all for that low price

Just get a propper new motherboard, which should fit your full budget. CPU's usualy don't die that often. It's usually the mobo that dies way before the CPU?

[CheeseburgerChad]

Seems fine, I'd definitely make sure that your i5 works with H81 and isn't one of the haswell refresh cpus that require a bios update first. I haven't researched 1150 a ton, but if they still sell new boards in your price range, go with it.

Please read this more carefully, I have said that the processor may have died due to something other than lifespan, but yeah I'm just getting cheap mobo

When a motherboard dies in a normal way, the CPU will most likely be fine. Or you must have done something strange, which you haven't told us yet... Heck, I once even had a PCB get rekt after dropping a screw on the mobo, and the CPU was still fine. (the mobo too, as long as I had the onboard audio turned off)

No, I just said it may be dead
