Sub $150 ATX MOBO

[th3harbinger]

I have been looking on Newegg for the past two days and it's making my head hurt! Can anyone recommend a board that:

- Sub $150
- ATX
- Built-in VGA,DVI, and HDMI
- Good Experience
- Z68
- DDR3
- LGA 1155

I am going to be using the i5-2500k and it is going to be mainly a gaming PC. Thanks.

Does it have to be able to support two graphics cards in SLI or CrossFireX?

preferably but if it is good mobo it dosn't have to.

A Gigabyte LGA1155 mobo should serve you well and fit your budget. They are high quality and used by many review sites because they are fast and reliable. Newegg and the Gigabyte website allow you to sort by CPU socket type and then compare the mobo designs/features.

do you have any models you could recommend?

ASRock is ASUS' mainstream brand. It has a shorter warranty period.

If you don't receive a defective one it should work fine.
