    Hey guys.
    I'm doing an AMD build at the moment and was originally going to go for an MSI 770-C45. But it has no on-board graphics and because I'm a little low on cash won't be able to buy a graphics card at the same time. Could anyone reccommend a good, preferably under £70, AM3 board?

    Just over at £72 - Asus M4A785TDV-EVO. Great overclocker and unlocks cores too.

    Hi, I'm also in the same boat. Was going to get the Asus, but then it occurred to me that the price difference between the 2 boards is about £20 so why not buy the MSI motherobard and a £20/£25 card like

    i'm guessing these would be better as they have more memory etc than the
    Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 4200 GPU on the motherboard. And when you do decide to upgrade you can sell it on or reuse it in future. Any thought?

    MB+GFX has a higher power consumption which might not be desirable for a server or HTPC

    No point having a discrete card at anything less than around £70-80. Waste of money.
