The last build I did was over 4 years ago (AMD Phenom II X4 965 on an AM2+ MB) and the last Intel build was a P4 over 10 years ago so I am out of the loop Intel wise.
I have settled on getting a Xeon E3-1230 V2 Ivy Bridge CPU and could use some help on a good, stable and reliable motherboard.
I am looking for a MB with USB 3.0, SATA 6gb and something with at least 3 case fan connections/control on the board.
I am assuming a Z77?
I prefer ASUS and in a pinch Gigabyte.
Cost wise would be under $200 USD however I will not be overclocking and don't want to spend more then I have to unless the reliability is really worth the cost difference.
