[UK] Cheap Intel UEFI/USB 3.0 motherboards? (<

[Elliot B.]

I am looking into grabbing a cheap Intel motherboard with UEFI and at least one USB 3.0 port.

I can only find one under ?100, the?Asus M5A97 (?65).

Is this the only option?

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A97/#specifications says it's AM3+, not Intel.

What socket are you after?

Oh yeah, damn.

Basically, any Intel socket.

Seems that it may be cheaper to get an Intel-based UEFI motherboard with USB 2.0 ports and buy a 4-port USB 3.0 PCI card for ?15.

Pretty cheap. but below just a bit cheaper than above one.

Yeah, sounds like it will be cheaper to get an Intel-based UEFI motherboard with USB 2.0 ports and buy a 4-port USB 3.0 PCI card for ?15.
