New MotherBoard + Case (Under €100)

AlanS181824

Hi Boardsies,
I bought a couple of stuff for Christmas for my computer includinng a new Graphics Card and USB 3.0 Expansion Card.

There isn't enough room in my case for both of them because the Graphics Card is too big and the only way I could install it is to have it upside down which I'm sure isn't the best thing for it.

So I'm looking for a new MotherBoard for the AMD FX series and a new case if at all possible. The MotherBoard needs to have USB 3.0 & be AM3+ but other than that I'm open to just about anything. I don't really mind what type of case either.

As this is just an upgrade my budget is around €100 and I'd prefer to use Amazon if possible.

Hopefully that isn't too many requests :P

Thank you in advance

Kind Regards,
Alan

Could do worse than the CM Force 500 and Asrock Pro 3

Thanks for that.
That was actually the case I had my eye on! :P
On the MotherBoard under compatible processors the AMD FX series isn't listed so maybe it is not compatible? Just want to be totally sure before I buy.

Definately the AM3+ socket is specificaly for FX series processors. You can check the ASRock website for total piece of mind.

Alright, I'll wait to see if anyone else can find something too before I buy.
Thanks again for your help!
