Best 1156 mobo
Last response: in Motherboards
Did a complete rebuild a few years ago. Below are my current specs curtesy of cpu-z validator. I am quite satisfied with my current rig except the mobo. I bought it before usb 3.0 and sata 6 were really available so right now my hd is only rockin' at sata 3 even though it is sata 6 ready. I believe if i can find the right mobo, this rig will get me another 2 to 3 years no problem. I've got the cpu running at 3.5 no problem so it's plenty quick. Just upgraded my gpu after my old 9600 so died last week. Bottom line is i want the best 1156 mobo out there with usb 3.0 and sata 6.
i know 1156's can be hard to find so if u come across any and can throw me some links i would greatly apreciate it. New only please.

I recommend you leave it alone. Socket 1156 boards charge a premium for sata 3.0; I changed from sata 2.0 to 3.0 recently and didn't notice much difference; not worth changing boards over. Never use usb 3.0; maybe you have some devices that will work with it. Wait for your next board/cpu/ram upgrade or get this for sata 3.0 controller card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
