I7-930 mobo

[connor m]

What would be a good motherboard for an i7-930? I have a $1100 budget for my new build, and really don't want to go all out of CPU/Mobo, and be stuck with not so good other components. Also, I will be playing games such as World of Warcraft , SC2, Crysis2 (maybe) CODMW2.

-Thanks

I just got the same processor and grabbed GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R. Keep in mind that I had quite a few restrictions regarding my choice, as I wanted both a PCI slot and the good old IDE for hard disks.

Over in the homebuilt forum, we've been hearing from users having problems with that board.

There's this board also.

Sorry for going a little off topic, but could you specify what kind of problems?

Unfortunately I don't know much of the specifics... Here's the link.
