Asrock h81-DGS + 4460 ~ $298 from tradepac~~~

Do not allocate the budget by per individual parts. Indicate the overall budget of the entire rig, this allows you to have a slightly better balance rig instead.

Not unless you are reusing your parts.

I've already bought the other parts already, and re-using my RAM and storage. the budget is only for motherboard + Processor.

I'd like to know if there's any motherboard+processor that cost below $300 and is compatible with my rig stated above?

won't be upgrading in 2-3 years

MITX mobo is quite ex, due to smaller components used. You can try Asrock H81m-itx + i5-4460 at $342

 

[royfrosty]

$300 with an i5 + itx mobo then no.

$300 with an i3 yes possible or with an i5 + mATX mobo.
