Hi All,

Im about to embark on a major pc replacement and need suggestions for a motherboard to suit a Intel i7-2600K CPU and 1280M GTX570 Graphics Card. I will never use crossfire\sli, nor overclock so am looking for suggestions as to the best mobo to get without wasting money on unnecessary features.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Look for ASUS or Gigabyte Z68 chipset with SATA 6 and USB 3.0 built in. ASRock is also a good mobo in my experience but not quite in same category. ESATA might be a nice feature. Make sure they have 4 RAM slots.

+1^ i would rather lean towards the GIgabyte range defiantly stick to Z68 as it is the latest chipset on the sandy bridge chipset and is the most efficient Also make sure you stick to the sata 3 and USB 3 connections.
