Hi. I'm buying a new CPU so I have to change my motherboard. What would be a good motherboard for an Intel Pentium - 3.0GHz -
G2030 and a hd 7750 and a price less than 100‏$‏‎. Thanks in advance

thanks for the answers. I'm just one quetion away from buying my new mobo, GPU and CPU! When I checked the specs of motherboards, there was written that PCI third generation only supported by intel core i5 and i7. does it mean I can't use HD 7750 with Pentium CPU?
 



it wont get the max performance of the card bus speed but you can still use it will just run in pci 2.0 mode

you wont notice a huge amount of difference either i think its like a 5 percent drop

whats your current power supply btw as 7750 is a very low end card

whats your total budget as well your aiming for

I aim to play latest games on low to medium setting in a HD resolution. My budget is really tight! I should divide 250‏$‏ between a CPU, GPU and a mobo! Actually I still havent buy a PSU. I want to buy a suitable one after buying those.
 


what do you currently have
 



id ditch intel and go down the amd route if your budgets tight youll get more bang

ive made a build

535 dollars probly slight more with tax unsure

this is cheapest gaming rig which is future proofed for allowing kaveri later on which they most likely will release a streamroller chip seperate on fm2 plus which will allow for a better processor upgrade later on

however this rig should achieve medium to high add more ram when you can same extact ram for full compatibility
