Best budget z68 mother board for i5-2500k

do you want to get 2500k instead of C2Q if your answer is yes then no 2500k not compatible with that board cause it has LGA 1155 while your current is LGA 775
you need a new motherboard for 2500k..
your current mobo fastest cpu are C2Q Q9650 or C2E.

maxi list
iirc gigabyte doesn't have uefi like asus. you should web search your chosen motherboard's reviews.
recommendations are based on price.

thanks for reply, sorry i forgot to mention in the question that i need 1155 board,i thought all the people will understand what i am asking for an i5 board.
     

thank you very much, u gave me what i need. and I am going to check the reviews.especially i liked the asus model .      

me again, and please suggest if any h61 or h67 boards have better peroformance than these entrylevel z68 boards. thanks.

no h61 or h67 can't defeat the z68 entry level.

depends on what you mean by performance.
the h6x boards don't allow cpu overclocking. h61 supports less usb ports. h61 also lacks raid support. h61 has 6 secondary pcie 2 lanes, h67 has 8, so does z68. h61 supports up to 2 ddr3 slots, h67 and z68 support up to 4. h6x don't usually support cfx/sli. h6x boards let user use the igpu and allow igpu oc. h61 motherboards usually have micro atx form factor. most of h67 motherboards have micro atx too, some of them have atx form factor. they're good for entry level, non oc, single gfx card setups. imo most h6x motherboards perform similarly.
z68 chipset supports all the sb features - igpu, igpu oc, full ram slot support, dual x8 cfx/sli, raid, ssd caching, 2 more secondary pcie 2 lanes than h61. z68 allows cpu oc. z68 motherboards with pcie 3.0 capability are more available.

agree with @jaqiuth

Biostar TZ68A+, has all the bells and whistles of a Z68 board, overclocks stable to 4.3-4.5ghz and is filthy cheap.
