Uatx board with an fx8320

[marioman3002]

ifHello I'm needing some help finding a motherboard for a fx 8320 my current case is a mini and can only hold micro atx boards. I do not want to buy a new case. I'm mainly going to play games like bf3 and the upcoming bf4 and need recommendations for the motherboard please. I'm looking forward to any answer or help anyone can give me I don't think I will be over clocking anything

It would help a lot if someone who is also using a uatx board and an fx 8320 tell me their experience so far with it

Thanks for posting the parts rolli that one I've been inching toward buying it just don't know as I keep reading reviews and I can't make a decision. This will be my first time ever having to buy and replace a motherboard so don't know what I'm doing really

There are no really good mATX boards for the FX83xx series all budget boards, Asus happens to be my favorite brand and those boards are fine with no OC.
Replacing is easier than you think and taking it apart will help getting the under standing.

So the one you posted would be fine for gaming as long as I don't over clocking?

Yes it will.

One more question (gotta make sure) do you use this board and/or processor?

 

[rolli59]

No but I have 3 Asus boards for Intel, one being similar budget mATX for my home server and I have 2 FX8350 in 990FX chipset boards in the household.
There are better mATX boards available for Intel systems than AMD.

The better the airflow / cooling in the case the less chance of throttling.
