Hi guys,

So I've been looking at upgrading my mobo and it is driving me crazy. All these sockets and features and upgradeability and compatibility that I have to look into is too much.

So I'm asking for some help from you tech wizards!

My CPU is a i5 2320. I believe it is using the sandy bridge architecture and is a 1155 socket. I tried matching these up with other mobos but the prices and stuff just leave me clueless.

The main things I want out from it is for it to have some USB 3.0 Ports, be compatible with my hd7850 GPU, allow me to upgrade to a better GPU and CPU eventually so would defo want PCI 3.0, have 4 RAM slots if possible and be a ATX sized mobo.

So far I have narrowed it down to this motherboard but would really appreciate any better recommendation.

£45 - Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H (Dont know the difference between the DS3H and the D3H): http://www.ebuyer.com/386271-gigabyte-ga-z77-ds3h-socke...

Seems to have all the things I would need and a good quality reputation too. Not sure what else is out there.

Would appreciate your input, cheers guys!

Board is fine, gigabyte make decent boards so you can rely on it I'd say, can't get much for 45 pounds

For what I'm looking for, this seems to offer it all. USB 3.0, PCI-E 3.0, 4 RAM slots and CPU/GPU compatibility. Just wonderedif anyone knew of something better.

Think I'm going to do some more research before I commit but this seems like the board that I'll be going for so far.
