I like Asus and Gigabyte but not limited to.

Has onboard graphics
Has second PCI-E x16 able to run at 8x (not 4x)
Socket 1156 for i5 750

You did not bother to read my actual posting. Thanks for taking up space on the internet though.

I'll answer my own thread.


1) The quad core i5 750 is not compatible with onboard graphics.

You want a Socket 1156 board with integrated graphics. That pretty much limits to H55, H57 and Q57. You need a Core i3 530, 540 or Core i5 650, 660, 661, or 670 if you want the integrated graphics to work - the graphics chip is on the CPU. The Core i5 750 doesn't have an onboard graphics chip, so you can't have CPU integrated graphics, and need a specific Socket 1156 motherboard with an onboard motherboard-based graphics chipset. All Nehalem based processors, Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 have an IMC which uses DDR3 memory only.

The ASUS P7F-C/4L motherboard has onboard graphics and two 8x PCI-e lanes, the board costs $199.99 - and it's out of your price range.
The ASUS P7F-X is the same, except it does not support as many CPUs, although it supports the i5 750, but costs $174.99, still out of your price range.

I'm just wondering, if you don't mind telling me, why you need two PCI-e 16x lanes if you're using integrated graphics?
