So I'm looking at building a PC and I'm wondering what motherboard I should get? I'm getting an i5-3570 as I'm not one for overclocking and a GTX760 GPU, probably 16GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD for those nice start up times. So the motherboard would need to support 16GB RAM at the least and 32 preferably, I may look into getting another 760 for SLI so SLI would be a good feature to have. Hopefully that's all the info needed. I know a reasonable amount about PCs but motherboards are one front I'm not too good with.

Also apparently I've had a Tom's hardware account for 4 years!? I didn't even know I had one till a few minutes ago when i tried to sign up :/

SLI basically means a standard ATX board. I would actually recommend a Z77 even though you aren't overclocking, just for the extra features and quality for running Dual GPUs in the future, and gives you the option to put in an overclocking chip down the road.

ASRock Z77 Extreme Pro 4 is a popular budget choice.
Gigabyte Z77 DH3
ASUS Z77 Pro
