[SOLVED] Need cheap motherboard for Xeon 1220

[Insane Potatoz]

Hello everyone! I’m building my friend a PC, and he’s on a tight budget. I’m looking for a used motherboard that is micro ATX, has the socket LGA 1155, has the PCI express x16 up high on the board, and supports the Xeon e3 1200 (3.1ghz) it needs to fit in my Deepcool Matrexx 30 case and I’d like it to either have a usb 3.0 connector or just a USB 3.0 port. My budget is $40. Can you guys help me? Thanks!

Seems like a reasonable price for a used board. Hit up Ebay. You'll have to look at third generation boards like H77 and Z77 to get any USB 3.0 ports.
