I'm currently looking for a new motherboard as I'm going to be upgrading my computer.
But I don't wish to spend too much as I still need to use money for a new intel core i7-9700 processor and DDR4 RAM.

What are some cheap motherboards that would do the job?
My budget is around 80-90 bucks.

Any B360 or B365 or H310 motherboard is going to be pretty cheap. Not a lot of features though.

AMD is the king of useful cheap motherboards. You might consider B450 and a Ryzen CPU like the 3700x. Same core count, and double the thread count, and you can overclock to beat the 9700 certainly. 9700k not so much, still up there in terms of single core speed. Though some of the high end AMD CPUs certainly do compete well with everything but the 9900k in clock speed dependent applications.
