Hello all.

I'm building a new pc and I'm going to use the intel i5 2400 processor. What I'm looking for is a good motherboard for the i5 2400 processor.

The graphic card will probably be a Radeon HD 5850 (don't know if I will have the money for gtx 560). Crossfire and SLI is important because I will probably add a second graphic card later.

Something like a budget/middle/high end alternative.

Also it would be great if you could enumerate the characteristic that I should look when choosing the motherboard.

Thanks for you time.
 
You're aware of the Intel recall for all socket 1155 boards. New boards will be available in about 1-2 months. I wouldn't buy one now; most venders in the usa have stopped selling them. If you have a spare pc, continue using it until the new boards start showing up and have been tested. Look for reviews on hardware sites such as this one or anandtech.
