Intel Motherboard for around £40-£60. Recommendations?

[virokka]

Hi

Well my motherboard just gave up the ghost and now I am left with the hunt for a new one. What I would like if possible is a bit of help. i need something for around the above price that can handle what I currently have (not too difficult I fear) but also be able to expand a little in he future if needed.

Current spec

Intel E6750
4GB DDR pc 6400 Corsair
XFX 8800GTX

It also needs to be matx as I have a silverstone sugo SG02 (nightmare for space)

So do you guys have any recommendations for the £40 to £60 mark? Or is it worth spending more or am I already in an upgrade dead end?

Thanks in advance

I would look at getting a motherboard based around the iG43 or iG45 chipsets as they have the ICH10 southbridge.

This is the cheapest iG43 based motherboard I have seen so far:

Here are the specs from the Asus website:

The motherboard also has PCI-E 2.0 and can take quad core processors although I would not overclock using this motherboard due to the lack of cooling on the VRMs!

thanks for your help. In any case I have now decided to sell the cpu anyway and go for a Phenom as I have never used Amd before and I like change
