hi guys
really would appreciate it if you could guide me to a cheap motherboard as my budget is really tight
i recently bought i5 3570k and looking for motherboard, i only wish to play some games on it like csgo mainly and maybe bf3 and rocket league, so i wont overclock it and wont be needing high and multi tasking or video editing programs. any ideas on which cheap motherboard which could run it smooth. again im not planning on overclocking. just something which works, as i found alot. would ASUS H61M-K be okay ? or the 61 series is bad for i5 ??

thanks

people go for the z77 because it allows for overclocking, and your cpu does allow for it, but since you said you dont want to oc, i didnt think you would want...

well the cheapest 1155 motherboard i found was the MSI H61M-P31. its a micro atx board with 6 usb ports, a vga and dvi port, 4 sata 3gbps ports (not sata 6gbps) two ddr3 ram slots with a max of 16gb, and pcie 3.0 x16 (i think. but im pretty sure it does) it has 4 stars on newegg, but its cheaper on superbiiz. (a motherboard doesnt really have anything to do with performance btw)

are you sure ?? why do people on here forums prefer z77 series then ?? really advice z77 for i5 maybe because its better with overclock thats what i read.... any other differences though ??
