Which Motherboard?

[darkbubble]

Hi,

I need help deciding on a motherboard for a 2500k build. The processor will be overclocked in the future for sure. The build will be primarily used for gaming (bf3 skyrim cod etc.) the build is here. Storage, the os, and the optical drive are already taken care of, and an SSD will be put in the future. I just need to know what kind of motherboard to get. P67 Z68 Z77 H67. The only criteria is that the board be standard ATX and be under $120 Thanks for the help

U can definitely use this one -> ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 -> ... Latest Z77...

I just build PC with this mobo and I like the BIOS, its looks like this.

Works as expected @ 4.4GHz

That is a great mobo choice for the CPU. It has good power design for OC.

Or this one, if u wish to stay on budget.

I would not go under the Extreme4 though.

U should have quality mobo for stable overclock.

Thanks for the response. I think I can bump my budget up a little

U get a $15 gift card with the Extreme4 : )

It has more power phases (8+4) and new power design. Its the best budget mobo out there.
