Hey, can someone tell me a cheap motherboard for this build:

CPU: Intel Core i3-4160 CPU @ 3.60GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 WindForce 2GB
Motherboard: B85-G41 PC MATE (MSI)
RAM: 3x 2GB DDR3

The most cheap motherboards that are compatible with the CPU only can support 2 RAM sticks, but it will be fine since I plan to upgrade my RAM to 2x8GB in next year, but if you can find a good and cheap motherboard with 3/4 RAM sticks that would be better!

Thanks

ARK is the best knowledge base 😉
So yes it's S1150

Now you have very limited options for 60EUR but from those you presented I'd consider 51EUR

Why? Because all are decent quality so get the cheapest available 😉
For that cash you basically have only option to choose from H81 chipset which is quite limited already.

MSI B85-G41 is the next step, far more expansions slots but thats 67EUR already.



Can you check this site to help me? It's the store I buy most of my things, so that would be good if you could help me with the stuff on there: https://www.pcdiga.com/1/302/Socket-1150

I guess i3-4160 is Socket1150 right? If it is, the link above has all the motherboards with that socket, and it would be nice to get one not above 60€, but I don't know if they have good quality.

Thanks
