i3 2100 boards for family rebuilds

[Spun Ducky]

It has come time to update everyone's comps in my family and the current ones range from p4's to Athlon 64 to core 2 duo.

I am planning to use i3 2100 chips in the builds as they are decently fast for web browsing, low price, and light gaming. I plan to use the on chip video so that means H67 boards from what I have read.

So what are some of the good H67 boards that can be had for sub 50 dollars? I want to keep the cpu + board + ram under 200 dollars total the rest of the parts I have more than enough.

I've owned a few Gigabyte H67 boards and they've been very stable and never gave me any issues.

If you can't find one cheap, look at Z68, H77, B75, or Z77. Most of those board will have onboard video ports - always double check of course.

I've been running a msi H67MA-E45 (B3) and the boards been flawless for the past year which runs 24/7

You could also consider H61 chipsets.
It will be much easier to find a board <$50 then

no Native SATA III ports
no Clear Video Technology
no RAID

I would recommend USB 3.0 a must though, so be sure to filter newegg search. This can't be done <$50 from newegg.
