Hello guys. I'm planning to build a PC with Intel processor on it. Simply I can't decide which board I should get. Simply I'm against mATX forms due to I'll fill slots when needed. Generally I'm a single GPU user from the very first build. Which motherboards will meet my needings? Thanks in advance.

I'v seen several pre-buildt pc's sold by the biggest and most populare company's in my region (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland etc) using i5's and i7 cpu's and Gtx 760's. So it should do fine with a 770 aswell.

First i need to know what cpu you are going to be using, before i can tell you which motherboard thats suitable for overclocking it. :)

If i undertood you right, you want a Standard size ATX board, correct?

I'm planning to get G3220 for now but in the future it will evolve to an i5 or i7. And you probably misunderstood, I won't overclock, simply I don't like it at all.

Can I trust ASUS after my last 2 bad experiences with their motherboards. Neither they didn't perform well from the start nor passed 2 years of lifetime. Is this a bad board? Sorry, it's on a local internet shop, couldn't find it on Newegg.

Asus is most definetly recommended when it commes to both motherboards and air gpu coolers.

Now last question, before i give a recommendation. What price point are we talking about for the motherboard?

Ah, my bad. Around $80, but my main concern is durabilty, it should last enough to hold an i7 and a R9 280x to end of their lives.

Ah, thank you a lot. Is this good enough to handle i7 4770 and GTX 770?
