If open to purchase used hardware, you might get 880G chipset-based motherboard. Recently I had sour experience with Gigabyte/Accel RMA in their Lemington Road service center, so would suggest to stay away from Gigabyte. I have submitted my board on 13th & yet its not returned from RMA.

better get a motherboard with VRM cooling and generally cpu with 125W tdp do need a good quality mobo. If you can ante up the budget above 6k then you can get some decent boards.
