Yes it is a good board but only good for a single GPU. You should as well go with 3570K so you can use the overclocking features. Do you already have the GTX560 card?

I don't understand the question, any mobo with a pcie 2.0/or whatever, is what you need, unless you want a mobo with SLI support.
So any good h77(if you have the i5-3570(non k)/z7x board is enough.

OK then as I suggested go for the 3570K since you are going with a Z77 board both will allow overclock on the CPU.

Yes if you are not going to overclock you can save on the board and go with the h77 chipset.

can u explain what pci 2 or pci 3 means?

 

[rolli59]

PCIe(xpress) X16 is the graphics interface. All versions are compatible, for example you can use ver 3 card in a ver 2 slot and the other way around without any performance penalty!

It's a bad motherboard IMO. Died on me within a year. No voltage control for overclocking and long POST times.

Get a cheap Asrock. It's what I'm using now.

am going h77ma g43 dont want to oc my pc..and motherboard dont affect FPS and performance in games?

No it will perform the same since it is your CPU and GPU that deliver the performance. Different motherboards only allows you to do tweaking for more performance, such as overclock.
