Best cheap i7 mobo

[Notnice]

Guys whats the best cheap i7 mobo out there.Since i am going to build a new pc i might as well go i7 because it looks cheap right now and sound better than building a Q6600 setup.

i7 and cheap?? *starts some searching* I highly doubt those two things go together unless our deal spotters on here prove me wrong


EDIT

but I guess it depends on what you want, found this one shockingly CLICK MEEEE!!

[Philosophical45]

well for the cheapest i7 mobos, i only know of two that's available on amazon.

ONE: MSI X58 Pro - CLICK HERE


TWO: Gigabyte X58 - CLICK HERE OR CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

Decent entry level boards for the i7 platforms, not laden with features as the 300 dollar ones, but should provide enough for your everyday needs. As you can see, the MSI has 6 slots for DDR3 ram, while the Gigabyte only has four. It's up to you, personally i'd prefer the Gigabyte; hate the colour of the MSI, and haven't had much luck on msi boards wrt heat while oc'ing.


EDIT: oh these boards don't support SLI..

^I done post the msi already wda lol and because it brown you aint like it well salt lol

Well notodd if you oc'ing I guess gigabyte is the route or if you want o get 24gb of ram msi has the poweeeer!! lol

The MSI is the board to get. I plan on ordering one as soon as I get a buyer for my parts.

[Arcmanov]

Good, because my MSI X58 Pro should be here by Wednesday.
FIRST thing I'll do is update the BIOS.

But u cost me the money i just saved lol


But i hope when i am ready to buy the price might be lower i will be getting this new setup sometime in the next 2 months.

[Arcmanov]

These boards work best when ALL three channels are used, hence Wa_DoDem's suggestion.

I myself am getting these babies, and next month...three MORE for 12 GB. 
The RAM gods have blessed us FINALLY with cheap DDR3, and I intend to take FULL advantage of it.

'Too much RAM' you say?

*scoffs in advance*
