Good motherboard if i'm not going to overclock?

If you are not overclocking, you don't want a Z77 motherboard or a -k cpu. Get a motherboard with an H7 chipset and an i5 3570.

Yep, the Z77 and the i5 3570k are both for overclockers. Any motherboard thats a h77 is fine. AsRock has good motherboards and the bang for you buck is pretty good with them. As said above, a i5 3570 or even an i5 3470 would do you just fine.

Will there be any negative effects if I get a z77 and 3570k and dont overclock?

 

[morgilroka]

No there will not be a disadvantage. The board is just higher quality and the 3570K is just the unlocked version of the processor allowing you to overclock. If you plan on this being a long term build then a z77 and unlocked processor would be the best bet because you could always overclock in the future.

Although if you plan to upgrade at some point then its pretty much pointless and would be wise to just downgrade and save the extra cash.

If you aren't going to overclock might as well get a 3450 and h77.
