Hi,

I am building a PC yet I don't know what suit best with i3 2nd Gen , Powercolor HD7770 with a powersupply SPEEDPOWER atx-1050w.

Please need some advice budget $100 below
 
Solution
A b75 motherboard from Asus, MSI, Asrock, Gigabyte.

And change your PSU to a Corsair CX500. You dont need a 1000w psu. You need a reliable PSU. Or it can fry your pc or some components.
 


what do you mean by "fry"?
 
Destroy. Damage. Cook. Release the 'magic smoke'.

I wouldn't really recommend a CX series one though; Corsair cheaped out on the caps. Anything 400W+ from the brands in my sig.

Any B65/H67/B75/H77 MB, probably from ASRock, Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte. You'll probably want one with four RAM slots, and all H77/B75 boards have USB3.0 ports, while only some 6-series boards do.
 



My bad. Seasonic is my best recommended brand next is corsair or xfx.

We need to make a thread about psu buying guide. Or tier list. People are swayed by the high wattage psu.

In buying. "QUALITY over QUANTITY". Thats all 😛
 


Any suggestions standard atx motherboard good for my build ? I need switch to standard than the micro atx so I can easily upgrade it wilt more components. What do you think will be the best standard atx mobo?
 


An Asus B75 or h77. The only difference with Matx and ATX is the size and ATX has more PCI Slots. So Atx will be good. But if you have a mAtx case then go mAtx.
 


I also have here a H61 chipset motherboard is that okay with my build?
 


Yes.
