Any experience with the ASRock H61M/U3S3?

[parth95]

Hi, so far I am planning on getting this motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157236
Is it good?
Does anyone own this motherboard? Or has in the past?
If so, please tell me if you like it and how it is, and if it is the best one i can get for under $120 with sata 3 and usb 3.0
If there is a better motherboard for under $120 that is better with new technology, then please tell me
It will be for the intel i5 2400

This board will work fine. If you're purchasing a i5 2400 I would just get a H61/H67 motherboard and this one works fine. It has great features such as USB 3.0 and Sata 6Gb/s at a budget price. Do note this is not for extreme gamers. It only has 1 PCIe2.0 x16 so you will be using only one graphic card. If you're on a budget and don't expect to sli/crossfire/overclock. This is the right board for you.

Hi, and thanks for the answer.

I will never ever crossfire or sli. I will only have 1 6870

But, I was also looking at this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130583
It is ATX which is better because it is bigger which means less heat, right?

That is the only reason why I am looking at that. Everything else like 4 memory slots and sli/crossfire is not needed, because I will not upgrade it like that. (If I upgrade my graphic card, I'd might as well get a new computer, and I dont think I will ever need more than 8GB of ram)

So, if anyone owns either motherboards, please give experiences of it
