Hi,

As the title suggests, I need some help finding a motherboard.

I would like to find one that is cheaper than £80 (Keep to UK stores please).

It needs to be compatible with an i5 3570K processor. Also, it needs to be a full size board (ATX), with 4 RAM slots, and it needs to support Crossfire.

I have currently found the Asus P8Z77-V LX:

Do you know of any better ones that will meet my needs?

Thanks for your time.

That's a tough price point but I've had nothing but trouble with the ASUS P8Z77-V series. I had two P8Z77-V Pros and anyone else I've conversed with who were also owners had nothing but trouble with the BIOS glitches. Settings not sticking, settings resetting themselves on reboot. Perhaps ASUS has fixed this with recent updates but as of January it was a disaster.

I would recommend this:

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H

While minuscule it at least HAS a heatsink on the VRMs which is a necessity for overclocking.

If you can scrape together 100 quid there are some awesome boards available.

Ok, thanks.
Does this board support Crossfire?
