New Motherboard Choice

grixon · Dec 23, 2013

Hello,

My motherboard recently fried and I am in search of a new motherboard, just wondering if the following build will be feasible given my other components, I use this computer for entertainment purposes and am a casual gamer (Ultra settings on games are preferred but not mandatory), so I'm trying to look for a lower cost motherboard that can support my entertainment and gaming needs:

New Build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 @ 3.10GHz, 6MB Cache, LGA 1155
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560TI 1GB GDDRS
Memory: Kingston 4 GB DIMM 1333 MHz DDR3
Power Supply: Corsair GS 600
Case: NZXT Hust
Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB
DVD: LG 24X DVD Writer
Motherboard: ASUS P8B75-V

Old Build (with fried motherboard):
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 @ 3.10GHz, 6MB Cache, LGA 1155
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560TI 1GB GDDRS
Memory: Kingston 4 GB DIMM 1333 MHz DDR3
Power Supply: Corsair GS 600
Case: NZXT Hush
Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB
DVD: LG 24X DVD Writer
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LE

Thanks very much for any help, appreciate it guys!

As you do not have a K series CPU the B series chipset you have chosen should be fine.

However that particular motherboard only has a single 6Gb sata connection which is a bit meh, id want at least a couple!

Also looks to have no angled sata sockets which can make builds look messy, but that's a personal choice.

Thanks for the response bungz! I only really need one 6Gb Sata as I'll be plugging it onto my harddrive. I rarely use my DVD drive so I am ok with plugging that into a 3Gb one.
