Hey guys,just wondering what motherboard i should get with the Intel CPU Core i7 3770K!?

I'm quite the noob when it comes to all this,so any help is appreciated.

Im getting a GTX 670 and 16GB of Ram,so it needs to be fine with that.

I also have a DVR card which is pci-e and a wireless card that will need to go in the motherboard!

Im looking for as cheap as possible and will get the job done!

Thanks

From what I've read and seen, ASRock z77 extreme4 is a great motherboard that delivers the best bang-for-buck. It will support your processor and (I'm guessing you have 2x8GB memory modules) you'll have space left for upgrades in the future. If you have more $, you could look into some MOBOs from ASUS as well.
Oh, and I recommend checking wether your ram modules are supported by this motherboard. You can do it here:

OR if you have Corsair memory, then I suggest checking this:

Thanks for the reply,whats the difference between the whole z77,z68 etc.!? Is it just features!?

Here, this should explain everything:
Just hit "find" and type in "z77", the first result will be a chipset and their feature comparison table.

Well, I'm pretty new to computers, but from what I get, Z77 and 70-series as a whole was optimized for ivy bridge or something like that and 60-series for Sandy. I'm not saying this is true, it's just my guess, because z77 came out around the same time as IB, a tad bit prior, I might even say. IB is compatible with z68 as well as z77, but as far as I know, a BIOS update is required or something like that. Anyway, my friend went with a B75 chipset for his IB build, because he just wasn't going to overclock anything and by going with that particular chipset, he saved a lot of dough.
