So I am upgrading my system piece by piece. It is about time I upgrade the Mobo and CPU. First going with the Mobo so I can use my current one on it.
SO! I am looking for a motherboard with features I need (or will need) that is great for the price.
I am going to get an FX8350 afterwards so I want the best board for overclocking to 5GHz.
My budget is around $125. Can be higher or lower.
Here are some features I need (minimum).
2 Sata III ports. For possible Raid 0 or 1 config. Depends if I want more space or be safe.
2 PCI-E x16 slots. For future SLI or CrossFire config. I will only SLI 2 cards at most ever for best $/performance scaling. If having an aditional PCIe slot is beneficial in anyway, let me know!
2 Supports at least 32 gigs of RAM. FOR RAM disk setup.
Supports at least 1866MHz RAM.
USB 3.0 header for 2 front panel USB ports.
Just as important as the rest, solid enough to OC to 5GHz. (I know it also depends on the cpu itself.)
Your help is GREATLY appreciated.
I would list some options, but my biggest issue is what is best for overclocking around that price.
