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!
