hi all,

I am putting together a build and am looking for some advice.
i want to use an i5 2500k, and a hd6870, later on there is a possibility to put another hd6870 in crossfire,
any suggestions?

By the way the maximum i am willing to spend on a mobo is about £130.

thanks in advance.

ASRock is the best features for the price that I have found. For 130 Lbs (sorry don't have the pound Symbol here) you can probably get the P67 Extreme4, P67 Extreme6 or Z68 Extreme4.

Do you need Quicksync (Virtu) or HDD to SSD caching? If you do go with a Z68.

There are many other OEMs that produce good quality mobos but ASRock seems to beat the others on price/performance and still put out a quality mobo.
