Howdy guys, Im currently looking at an Intel CPU for gaming and while I liked to get an I5 3570k however I dont plan to overclock anytime soon so, however Im having a tough time picking out a motherboard for this CPU, I understand it requires an LGA 1155 Socket but thats all I know.

Cheers for the answers in advance =)

Since your cpu will be clock blocked i'd save a few dollars and get an asus h77 like http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemNumber=N82E16813131826.

It's not a good plan to get an OC mobo with a locked cpu then spend another $230 later for the K model.

I dont plan to OC yet as Im just trying out PC gaming, If I take off with it and I decide to upgrade later down the line then I will probably look into OC'ing and SLI but for now Im just trying PC gaming so ^.^

In terms of a budget I have everything set just Dabbling with the CPU and Motherboard really. Originally was going to go with a FX8350 but did a read about how warm and how much power they use and considered Id rather go with Intel. In terms of a board around£60ish Im looking at!
