MY PC is giving me trouble. Very slow and laggy, random errors. Took out the video card, that didn't help, swapped out the ram, still have the problem. I think it's the motherboard. I have a I5 2500 processor with DDR3 1600 memory. Can you guys recommend a good motherboard to go with that CPU and memory?

Both of those are out of stock on newegg, what about this one? ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel, will pretty much any Z77 LGA 1155 work with my i5-2500? and since im getting ram too should I get something faster than the 1600?

I think the ram may be bad, not sure, so was going to replace the ram and the MB. Which ram would be good to get with that MB and my processor?

Figured out the problem! it's my Logitech G710+ keyboard! makes my whole PC run REAL choppy. Tried different USB ports and didn't help. Everything else works on those ports. Very strange. Guess it's going back to Bestbuy....
