New Mobo for i5 SAndy

[billybiff]

Hi

I currently have an i5 with a mini asus main board with a good heatsink cant remeber the name, plus an gt580 graphics card, all in a full tower.
When i got the Asus i didn't read the print as it a mini atx.

Basicaly i'm not happy with the asus main board, i'm after a good quality MB, it dosn't have to suppot Dual graphics cards, but does need good audio and usb connectivity.

Can i ask what isa good motherboard for overclocking?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, will Ivybridge work ok with a sandy bridge cpu?

there the both pin the same..the newer z77 mb just have an updated bios already on them so you can switch from ib or sb. on a z77. on the older x68 mb they need a bios update first before dropping an ib chip in.
