Looking for a good, cheap AM3+ motherboard for this build.

I am building a computer and am in the process of developing my parts list. I have found everything except for the motherboard. I am looking for a motherboard that shouldn't give me any problems and supports all my parts, along with Windows 10. Overclocking would be great if possible. My budget is around 50-80 dollars for the motherboard.

Thank you in advance for your help!

yeah don't build anything with an fx series cpu in it.
They are already 5 years old and get destroyed by the cheapest cpu's nowadays. Whats your max budget so I can make you a way better pc that won't struggle in games the moment you try to use it.

 

[why_wolf]

is there some specific reason why you are using an end of life CPU?

Can you confirm if you have actually brought anything, or just selected it?

My max budget is around 750ish.

Just selected

Btw, case and monitor I'd like to be the same.

Given the budget, something like this or with Intel using the Pentium G4650. I'm assuming your max budget was about $800.

If the budget can't stretch to $780, perhaps a 1920x1080 monitor would be a better choice, especially matched to the GTX1050Ti.
I'm using a GTX1050Ti myself with a 2560x1080 monitor, but I don't have any new games. New titles would require significantly lowered settings, so if this is for new games, you might want the smaller monitor. If it's not for games, lower the graphics card still further (Newegg recently had a R7 370 for $89) and increase the CPU.
You've chosen a good PSU, but unless you are planning for future upgrades, you'll only need ~400W for a GTX1050Ti.

I definitely agree too that unless your circumstances are highly unusual (e.g. limited availability), you don't want AM3+.

Agree, however with Vega coming out with very high power usages, i'd be expected GPU power to creep up again on both sides as Nvidia knows it can increase power consumption and still be better than vega in that regard, so a 400W supply now, will cause problems in the future, but if the budget is that tight then it may be a necessary evil.

Very true, but that's why I put in "unless you are planning for future upgrades." I'm using a 450W PSU for my primary system, but I don't currently have any major upgrade plans.

I wouldn't waste money on things that are not going to affect your performance, like an expensive case. A case and monitor change would get you a GTX 1060 3gb, at the very least, and even an R5 1400.
