Budget Motherboards

All motherboards

6 budget motherboards from MSI, GIGABYTE, ASUS and more. Prices run $85 to $105.

Boards whose listing states DDR4 memory and a micro ATX layout. DDR4 is the cheaper memory and a smaller board is the cheaper board, so this is where a build saves money without losing a graphics slot.

We do not pick by hand: a motherboard is here because its listed specs pass the checks.
