Decided to get Core i5 2500k but.....

[Hirachi]

Ok I decided to get a Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 2500k and a LGA 1157 motherboard but I already bought RAM from newegg which is about 2 months old and the RAM only supports AM3 and Core i5 and i7 P55 chipset model motherboards. What do I do? I don't think I can get a refund and I don't feel like going through the hassle of refunding something that is fine. Can you guys recommend a P67 chipset motherboard that is ATX size modeled and has high quality intergrated sound cards, network cards, price ranges from $150-$250, is USB 3.0, 6.0gb/s sata ports, and is from a company with excellent customer service for the product.

Chances are that since your ram is DDR3 that it will work fine with a LGA1155 system.
Pick MSI, ASUS, Asrock or Gigabyte board with the features and slots you want http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627+600093976+600008069&IsNodeId=1&name=Intel+P43%2FP45%2FP55%2FP67&Page=1
I would have said EVGA but their boards are not out yet! (best customer service)

the ram should most likely work..there are many boars within this price range you could get that would work very well with the ram...

Asus P8p67 pro
Asus p8p67 deluxe
Asus p8p67
Gigabyte p67a ud4
you could also get the Asrock p67 extreme4 board..which has loads of features and the efi bios..and its not that expensive either..check newegg

Thanks so a P55 supporting RAM would work with a p67 chipset board? Incase you didn't know my RAM is G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBRL so will that RAM work with those motherboards especially the deluxe one?
