Need a motherboard suggestion

[bcock]

i am about to buy a new PC

currently i have selected this MOBO which was ranked 4th on one of my frequented sites

GigaByte GA-Z68A-D3-B3 Intel Z68 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ Intel Smart Response Technology & 7.1 Dolby Home Theater Audio, GbLAN, USB3.0, 2x SATA-III RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe, 3 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI


any insight would be gratefully appreciated!

One thing you should keep in mind is that you will need a discrete graphics card, because the board doesn't have integrated graphics AND it can not utilize the on-die graphics from Intel Core series (Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000). If you plan on using a video card then this is not a problem.

Otherwise it is a fairly good board. Since you didn't really mention what you would be using this new build for, I can't tell you if it will meet all your needs.

Yes, there is no reason why that wouldn't work. You will be fine.
