Mobo compatible with AMD FX-4350 AM3+ for $50 - $65.

So as the title states I am looking for a motherboard that I can purchase for my new and first desktop build, I need it to be compatible with the CPU in the title as I just got that. I also would like it to be able to take a bunch of different ram types by that I mean the different MHZ but be DDR3.

I found this one I'll link to but on PCParPicker it said this, also here is a link to the board in question https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157582&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

"Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

Thank you for the recommendation Blackbird, I originally wanted to get the MSI Gaming 970 but It's currently out of my budget range, I may have enough by next week when I go to buy it if I get the money I need. Would you say the MSI Gaming 970 would be adequate?

I own a 970 they are rare now and considered collectable , very good at OCing for a 8 phase VRM in fact it doesnt throttle like Asxxx brands with 12 phase.

Since your not gonna find a MSI 970 gaming try the new carbon version, its improved and should OC just as well.

Dont listen to the ones saying new tech, yes intel is an option, but worth it only for high end, but now tables have turned just like ialmost 20 years ago with Tbirds and A64s destroying pentiums. Ryzen will dominate the best is could if it wasnt for intels massive brand hype and marketing tactics with sheldon saying get rekt :/
AMD has always been better budget, and now with Ryzen I see no reason to buy a 4350 maybe for 49 just as a temp solution, but honestly I would wait for Ryzen R3 if you can save a bit still want bang for buck budget.

Is this the wrong 970 or? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Gaming-970-Gaming-AM3-AM3-AMD-970-and-SB950-SATA-6Gb-s-USB-3-0-ATX-AMD-Moth-/381870135174?hash=item58e93bd786:g:HEAAAOSwux5YQFwS

That's a decent board and will pair fine with the 4350.

If I have to go cheaper I did find this one here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-760GMA-P34-FX-AM3-AMD-760G-SATA-6Gb-s-USB-3-0-Micro-ATX-AMD-Motherboard-/302224219362?hash=item465df79ce2:g:2loAAOxye9lSDR9K

Hmm so the egg has 970 gamings back in stock?!!?!?! Unless they forgot to remove the listing from ebay....

Hey if I had 1000 dollar Id buy as many as I can and resell they are collectable. If you can then go for it, one of top 3 mobos I ever owned

There are quite a few listings of that same board on ebay btw, that's just one of a few I saw.

Don't go cheaper you want the 970 MSI Gaming , has a better thermal design for the 4350.

MAke sure its new with warranty coverage if on ebay. Only parts i would buy used and have to be a good deal are non mechanical parts that can and will die, CPU or RAM yes Ill buy in a heartbeat even with no warranty, anything else must be new with warranty

I will gladly buy it if I can get that much money by next monday,

For anyone wondering my setup is as follows, IPMEL-AE Evans MOBO, Intel E8500 Dual Core, 4Gb RAM , 500 Watt PSU, ASUS HD 7770 GDDR5 1Gb.

I decided to go with the MSI 970a SLI Krait edition.
