MSI Micro ATX
By Brian Jones
This MSI motherboard truly qualifies for the budget label. This is going to be for a back to the basics type of computer. It does have a few present day features that we are used to like an HDMI out and the Intel B85 Express Chipset for 4th generation chips support. Those are pretty good right there. Top it off with DDR3 1600 memory and some USB 3.0 ports and you are good to go. There is no multiple graphics card support and very few SATA connections compared to some of the beefier motherboards out there. If you don’t really need to take advantages of features like this, the MSI Micro ATX board is going to be perfect. You can pick it up for less than $70.
