Hello everyone. Whilst looking at the MicroCenter website for deals to help my friend upgrade his CPU/Mobo/GPU, I came across the 965Be for $80. From what I have seen here, this chip is still very respectable with 3.4ghz on 4 cores. My current CPU is 2 cores at 3ghz.
So with the 965BE being had for a song from MicroCenter, what motherboard would be useful to pair it with? I have a budget of ~200 at the moment, but I'm not looking to spend it all if I can help it (considering also an aftermarket cooler).
I know from the monthly MicroCenter catalogue that they bundle certain motherboards with the 965BE, so I would like to stick with those if possible to save money. However, with the catalogue not in front of me at the moment, the only bundling I can find ishttp://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx.
Regardless, if any of you could suggest a decently cheap and possibly overclockable motherboard, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks
