Budget MOBO for my parts.

[Bishop009]

Afternoon Tom's community & aliens alike,

Recently I have decided to build my own PC and have picked out some desired parts in accordance to my budget.

The only thing I haven't chosen is a MOBO, I am not sure of which MOBO to choose. Keep in mind this is my first PC that I will be building, any advice and active criticism is welcome.

Thank you.

The parts I have chosen are as follows:

CPU - i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU - MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB TWIN FROZR
Case - Zalman Z3 Plus White ATX Mid Tower
PSU - EVGA 500W ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical drive - Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer

As well as recommending a good compatible and budget MOBO, could you also recommend a good budget PSU also. I distinctly remember reading on some webpage that PSU is not of the better tier.

Looking forward to your comments.

What would be your budget? For the PSU and Mobo

Are you overclocking? Are you crossfiring? How many memory slots? Willing to upgrade? Thanks

From my budget, I have roughly £80 left, as I have the monitor, keyboard and other peripherals chosen.
And yes, I most definitely will be upgrading in the future.
I plan to OC in the future, but not just yet. Same applies to crossfire. I prefer 2 memory slots at the minimum.

Though I mentioned £80, I am willing to go up to £110. Thanks

The PSU is not of immediate concern to me, unless you guys discern that it may be harmful to my system, then you can suggest a better PSU as it is a "low tier" PSU.

Here you go buddy. Be sure to select best answer. Meets all your needs. Budget, Upgradeable, OC allow, 4 ram slots and crossfire.
