Hi there. My motherboard gave up on me the other day. I've done testing and came to the conclusion that my motherboard needs to be replaced. The motherboards listed are all LGA1155 sockets as i have a 2nd gen Intel i5.
My other hardware specs are:
Processor: Intel i5 2nd gen
RAM: 8GB
GPU: Gigabyte HD7950 (Cyclone 3 fan)
PSU: Corsair gold edition 550w

I would've listed better LGA1155 motherboards but in my country (S.A), the vendors stopped stocking 1155 motherboards so I'm left with little choice. The only currently available in order of most expensive to least expensive:

1. intel p67 deer flat micro- atx
2. Asus P8H61-M LX Rev.2 (model: P8H61-MLXR2)
3. Foxconn H61MXE (model#: H61MXE)
4. Asrock H61M-Vg3/M Mainboard (model#: MTB633)
5. Asrock H71M-Dgs/M Mainboard (model#: MTB631)
6. Asrock H61M-Vs3/M Mainboard (model#: MTB634)
7. MSI Intel H61 Chipset (model#: MB-H61M-P21B3)

According to what I know, I am pretty sure the board must support PCI-E 3.0 because of my GPU. I need a board which will not bottle-neck my system. I doubt any of these support USB 3.0 which would've been a plus as my case front ports are USB 3.0. If you choose number 1 as the best please explain what makes it much better than the rest.

They stopped stocking LGA1155 because they stopped making them several years ago...

If you have a -K CPU, the 1st one is the best choice as it's the only P67. Check the H61 boards and see if they support the CPU you have. I'd choose Asus over ASRock, and would skip Foxconn entirely.

Does it support PCI-E 3.0.... I couldn't research the board because when I asked the store if the board model number was BLKDP67DE they said "we have only one , Boxdp67de Intel p67 deer flat micro-ATX."

My current board which gave up on me was an AsRock H61m-Vs4. Its a PCI-E 3.0. If I use a board with a PCI-2.0 what will the difference be? The only thing good about my PC is my GPU :D

If you had Mobo choices like mine, which one would you choose? In your opinion are all those listed 'crap' ?

My PC is an i5 3470 Quad Core 3.2Ghz turbo boost to 3.6Ghz 6MB L3 cache. I'm not sure if its and Ivy bridge or Sandy bridge as I cannot get my PC to come on and check it out. Will this make a difference in my options? Which boards should be scratched off my list?

Hello... I expect all them to work as stated... and they always do for me... What I look for in My MB's is a lot of audio output connectors, Realtek audio/Lan and 16 Gb of RAM slots... plenty of USB of course... for a low cost.

Give me a few minutes to look at them all Ok? be back B )

Wait a minute you have a i5 3470 ? or i5 2470? that's makes a big difference in MB chipset models/choices... can you verify please?

My options will still be the same because in my country those are the only 1155 motherboards available. I contacted roughly 8-10 vendors and of those whom replied only 3 of them had it in stock and those are the ones I have listed. I would've tried to get one from overseas but shipping is expensive and the board prices are the same or more expensive overseas.

1. intel p67 deer flat micro- atx
2. Asus P8H61-M LX Rev.2 (model: P8H61-MLXR2)
3. Foxconn H61MXE (model#: H61MXE)
4. Asrock H61M-Vg3/M Mainboard (model#: MTB633)
5. Asrock H71M-Dgs/M Mainboard (model#: MTB631)
6. Asrock H61M-Vs3/M Mainboard (model#: MTB634)
7. MSI Intel H61 Chipset (model#: MB-H61M-P21B3)

The vendor says: "BOXDP67DE INTEL P67 DEER FLAT MICRO-ATX"

Heres a link for number 3 (Foxconn): http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000568

Most probably one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BOXDP67DE-uATX-DDR3-1333/dp/B00G6AP66Q
