Hi!
If you want to OC your future CPU (3570k) you have to buy Z68~Z77-P67 motherboard!
Look at some P67 motherboards if you can find in your country!
If you don't plan on OC that H61 motherboard will do just fine! :)

Edit: Motherboard doesn't affect in gaming or programming, good motherboard needed if you want to OC your CPU, to make SLI configuration or run 5+ HDD's in your system!

those are wayyyy out of my budget, so if i dont plan to oc then i5 2500 or i5 3570 (forget the K cpu and save some bucks) will be ok at this mobo..?
and yes i know that mobo dosent effect the performance, but still thar are the MOTHER Boards :D
and what are your comments about this mobo, is this good or just so so

Yes, you'll be fine with that motherboard, H61 chipset would allow you to use LGA1155 CPU, one GPU, two RAM sticks and some hard drives! :)

Edit: Bear in mind that to use 3rd. gen. CPU's (3570) you'll need BIOS update :D

Depends on price, if 2500 is much cheaper go for it, there is not much difference between 2500 and 3570 both are great CPU's!
