Hi All,
Sadly, my P8P67 Pro board from 2011 has died on me and I am looking to get a new motherboard. The P8P67 series seems to have been discontinued so simply buying a new copy of the same board isn't an option.
My main requirements:
Socket: 1155 (my CPU is a Intel 2600K)
PCI Slots: GTX 570 and a wireless network card
RAM: At least 2-4 slots (GSkill 1600 mhz, 4gb x 2)
Other: That the spacing of the CPU socket allows me have my Hyper 212+ heatseak attached and it doesn't interfere with the RAM slots (this is probably a given)
Pretty open on price but would prefer to keep it below $200 if possible, not looking for anything fancy, just something that can get my desktop up and running again. Anything additional that I should be considering? (it's been ages since I have had to buy a big PC component, so I am a bit out of the loop)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I have been looking at this board from NewEgg, it seems to fit my preferences well, anyone have any experience with it?
