QOTW: What is the most you would pay for a motherboard?

[ETR316]

Opps, I meant to type $125-225 maximum

Expecting my next board to be around £250 or so. More than I expected to spend? Yep, but I guess that's progress.

Just want to know when the X570 ITX boards are going to make an appearance. I know there's a Gigabyte jobby over at Scan, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I rarely have a stab at a game so thats not important at all. I have a general rule of thumb and aim for a maximum of £125 for each main component , that is MB , Chip , Graphics, memory. I waited for prices to settle , especially memory as it was absurd for a while. Just finished new build , costs were....
Ryzen5 2600 £122
MSI B450 Pro Carbon £120
GSkill 16GB TridentZ RGB £114
Sapphire 570 Nitro+ 8GB £ 92 (second hand ) OTT for me but had a silly moment and succumbed. lol

i'm not telling a forum affiliated with a shop what im willing to pay for a product they sell. It'd be like shooting myself in the foot...

Never paid more than £80 for mobo on my main gaming pc and my target would be as near to £50 as possible. Had many a decent o/c on a sub £60 mobo but that's pretty much a thing of the past anyway, with Ryzens that now run so close to their limits out of the box.

Current motherboard prices look insane to me, so I may well be buying s/h for my next build (that'll probably be in 2022/23 ish) if the supply of decent budget boards dries up permanently (abit I miss you so...).

£145 it's my max.

My current board is a X470 Asus Prime Pro which is the most I've ever spent on a motherboard, I only bought it because I couldn't wait for B450...for future purchases my max would be around £150.

I'm good for up to $150.00 US,...no more.
That said, I have a few friends that review products all of the time and they're usually willing to give me a real good deal on parts. (so my money goes a long way)
