Hi all, I am trying to decide on a motherboard for the i5-2500k, 700w PSU, 8GB DDR3-1333 (designed for P67), and an Nvidia GTX 4xx series graphics card. I do plan on overclocking a bit.

2 of my bundle choices are:

P8P67 LGA 1155 P67 ATX Intel Motherboard (which is $20 more than the one below)

or

GA-P67A-UD3 LGA 1155 P67 ATX Intel Motherboard

I really dont need alternatives because I would like to save money on a bundle. Thanks!

Go for the Asus P8P67 (or even the pro for a few more perks!)...You can't lose with that motherboard. The ud3 is good as well, but asus has the new bios which is a plus. All P67 boards at the moment have some issues, but allow for some time and they will be worked out!
