The ONLY reason I could see that ANYone would suggest getting a motherboard off ebay or CL, is that there was no other way to get one.
Yes, he's on a dead platform. The ASUS M5A99FX is the best mid leavel board you can get for that CPU.
Just because he's on a dead platform, does NOT mean he should screw it up with a used motherboard. :/
Used does not imply broken nor does it imply the action as a screw up.
Just because your dead set in your ways does not mean op should waste money when on a budget.
Just an FYI Mike since I know you don't ebay, he has buyers protection and has ample time to test said product to ensure it works.
Not everyone on criagslist is out to scam you, In fact I just recently got one of craigslist and it works flawlessly and my clients been using it 2 months now.
The main reason he should and this is ANOTHER valid reason is his budget. The fact he stated he does not have a lot of money.
@op if you want me to look around in your area for something decent or more in line with your budget pm me.
I'll ask a few things and dig up something that will work and explain to you the things you need to ask and look out for.
