Hello smarter-than-me-user, I need some help in choosing a mobo. My CPU is intel socket LGA 1155.

I have an ATX case with 1 200mm fan, and 3 120 mm fans (2 at the front and 1 at the back). I might add a few fans later down the line but not really a necessity. Finally I'm going to get the Corsair H100i for my CPU, so it needs to support that.

I would appreciate if it supports OCing but its not compulsory. The mobo should support 2 USB 3.0s and 2 normal USBs. It only needs to support 2 GPU SLI.

I'm kind of running on a budget, but won't mind if it goes a bit over $170.

Thanks!

If you are in USA, get this ASRock Z77 Extreme3 LGA 1155 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157330&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= or a little bit less MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130647&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Thanks, but I opted for the MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1155 instead. It supports OCing, has a better BIOS and supports SLI, all while being a gaming oriented mobo. It has enough connecters for my 4 case fans; but just in case I am also going to get 2 fan connecter splitters, so I will have a place for 2 more.

But thanks anyways.

BTW the second one costs less because it is a Micro ATX and not ATX mobo :)
