Hello all,
Soon I will be upgrading my CPU, RAM and motherboard to replace my current LGA775 rig. I want to use my computer mostly for gaming on Battlefield 4 and GTA.
I am opting for an I5-4440 paired with my current MSI R9-270x Hawk 2GB, however due to the locked processor I do not require a Z-series chipset neither do I plan to run my R9 in a crossfire configuration due to my current 430Watt PSU being the limiting factor.
I am looking for a motherboard with:
-LGA1150
-8GB DDR3 support or higher
-Optical audio out
-Single PCI-16x
-preferred with right angled SATA headers.
Do you have any recommendations or good experiences with lower-end LGA1150 motherboards?
