Best Mobo+cpu for £70

[robj20]

What's the best i can do for £70.

Just need a motherboard and CPU, form factor doesnt matter. Im not used to the low end stuff but this is for my parents just for internet and email.
Be getting windows 8.1 for them as well.
Already got 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz

Wont be using a graphics card.

I'd be going for the Intel G3220 processor and the cheapest 1150 motherboard (which would be the ASrock H61 BTC)

I've built up a couple of machines with an H61 and this processor, and they're fantastic little machines - especially if you add an SSD to the mix.

The motherboard is socket 1155 and the cpu is socket 1150 so it wont work, unless you ment H81.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asrock H81 Pro BTC Intel H81 (Socket 1150) ATX Motherboard £32.99

Puts it at over £70.

What about AMD, though i have no idea what the different ones there are.

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI A55M-E33 AMD A55 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £33.95
1 x AMD A4-6300 3.70GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Dual Core Processor (AD6300OKHLBOX) £29.99




YOUR BASKET
1 x Asrock H81 Pro BTC Intel H81 (Socket 1150) ATX Motherboard £32.99
1 x Intel Celeron G1820 2.7GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £29.99




There is not much between the 2 builds but AMD usually has better onboard graphics. To go the next step up in cpu will cost another £10+

Yes, I meant the H81 BTC Fat finger syndrome (and my bookmarklet for generating the cart wasn't working!)

For ~£6 over £70, you will get a great CPU
