Hey, I have a very limited budget in terms of getting a motherboard and I'm looking to get the Gigabyte Z97P-D3 ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ) for 64 pounds, but should I not be able to get it due to my budget, is there any under 60 pound motherboards that would be suitable for overclocking? Cheers.

Edit - I have an Intel Pentium G3258 and I'm using H55 watercooling.

That motherboard would do the job I'd also suggest swapping the h55 for a air cooler of the same price as it will be much better.

This would beat it in performance [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Alright, will do. I think I'm saving 10 pound on the Phantek cooler anyhow, so that'll adjust enough for the motherboard anyway I guess.

Thanks for your help.

Simple BIOS update to run the G3258 on it. As for cooler, I personally hate air coolers so I'd get something like this;

but that doesn't mean air coolers are bad. I just think they're too big an ugly for my liking.
