    I saw boards used going for $100, the board prices imo were never really the problem. The CPU i'd want to get with one of those is the E5-1650v3 for overclocking (or its i7 bretheren if it was cheaper, which it usually isnt). But they are still expensive, and so is DDR4.

    5820k maybe? Like has been said above the DDR4 and CPU cost kinda kills the cheapness of the mobos. Maybe soon there will be a flourish of ex server Xeons hitting the market??? Might be worth hanging on to the board and see what happens.

    How about this E5-1650v3? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-1650-V3-ES-QEZ0-3-3Ghz-6-Core-15MB-Max-Turbo-3-6Ghz-135W-Processor/401439606372?hash=item5d77aa4664:g:~-kAAOSwP4FaBdNZ
