Hello guys and thanks for the help!

So I have been running into issues as of recently. My computer loves to blue screen and after much time spent diagnosing I found my motherboard is having problems cycling power properly. Now my computer is almost 3 years old so it doesn't surprise me. But I see no reason in replacing my i5-2500k as there hasn't been many increases in cpu power lately. My question is what is a good 1155 mobo to replace the one I have?

I currently have

and am looking at

P.S. yes I know and I bought a crap board. Got it for $100 on sale and a equivelant board was over $200.

Oh and no MSI boards, Had two of them and they both power cycled. So no thanks.

Thanks for the help!

Now a pci 3.0 port will be backwards compatible with my GTX 570 right? I want to upgrade that to a GTX 760 soon just don't have the money right now.

Yes, no problems there, PCIE 2.0 and PCIE 3.0 are backwards compatible. At the moment i have PCIE 3.0. GPU on PCIE 2.0 x16 slot, works like a charm.
