I am looking for suggestions for a good gaming motherboard.
I know a lot about computers and such, but have never built a system completely on my own. I have read and understand a lot about the hardware I am looking at purchasing, but know almost nothing about what brands / models of motherboards are the best around for gaming.
The requirements:
CPU: i5 760 (LGA 1156)
Would prefer ATX, as I will be building a midsized tower (haven't started looking at these either)
Will be running 2 x Geforce GTX 460s in SLI
Probably going for DDR 1600 RAM, not sure yet there either.
I am a complete newbie at overclocking, but I would like to try it out, so a motherboard with nice/easy overclocking features would be nice as well.
The cheaper the better, but price isn't a huge issue. I will take all suggestions and downgrade in price if I need to, I am mostly just trying to get an idea of what the better motherboards are.
Thanks a lot!
