| 1349150 | 2013-07-17 01:59:00 | Hi all, I'm looking to buy a (z78) motherboard. Which is the best budget one in terms of features, stability etc? Preferably sub $200. Thanks, Nerdtastic |

| 1349152 | 2013-07-17 02:09:00 | Any specific recommendations? | Nerdtastic (16693) | ||
| 1349153 | 2013-07-17 02:11:00 | Depends what you want, like HDMI/Displayport.DVI,VGA etc. What features do you want? And what brand do you prefer? Asus or GB? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1349154 | 2013-07-17 02:14:00 | If you want mATX, I'd go for ASUS Z87M-PLUS. If you want full ATX you're probably going to have to stretch your budget a little, GIGABYTE GA-Z87-HD3 is probably the cheapest good full ATX Z87 board, or Asus Z87-C. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 1349156 | 2013-07-17 02:33:00 | I don't think it's easily answered, we don't know your requirements or preferences between models. Like speedy said. However I can recommend brands, Asus Gigabyte Asrock Are the 3 most popular and reliable brands. Have a look and compare them based on price & features yourself. Asrock typically give you more features for the same money but not always. |

| 1349157 | 2013-07-17 02:50:00 | How good is the 'HD3? Costs $200.63 :) Not sure you could really complain too much about anything on it... it has all the standard features these days - USB3, SATA 6G etc. It doesn't have eSATA or any of the less mainstream connections like firewire and thunderbolt if that matters to you. It's just a good gigabyte board. What specific features do you need? |

| 1349158 | 2013-07-17 05:05:00 | For $200 I'd have one of these two. www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz Done a couple of builds with the Gigabyte Z87 boards and been extremely impressed with them. |

| 1349159 | 2013-07-17 05:59:00 | I'm building a standard desktop PC. Nothing too fancy, i5, ssd/hdd, etc. It's for general use and moderate gaming. I probably will go for the HD3. Thanks for the response! |
