I'm upgrading to an i5 3570k and wondering what mobo I should get. It's for my gaming pc and i'm more than likely going to get a second hd6870 and crossfire them so I need 2 PCi-express slots. I need two ram slots. I want to be able to overclock my cpu aswell at some point, nothing major. maybe just a small increase. Nothing too expensive aswell, I have a budget of about €100/$130

thanks in advance .

To get a good crossfire you might have to spend a little more. Don't know what country you're in so here are a few you should be able to find one of them.

asrock z77 extreme4 http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B007KTY4A6/?tag=pcp05-21

asus p9z77-v lk http://www.amazon.de/dp/B007TIYX3Q/?tag=pcp05-21

gigabyte z77x-ud3h http://www.amazon.fr/Gigabyte-GAZ77XU3H-Carte-Intel-Socket/dp/B007ORT0J4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1350689232&sr=1-1

****EDIT***
The msi is probably the best choice for your budget but it will still be a little more than you wanted to spend but maybe you can found it cheaper msi z77a-g45 http://www.amazon.de/dp/B007JRGVUA/?tag=pcp05-21

^^ what about MSI? MSI is certainly better than gigabyte and asrock. i got a z77a GD55 for 140$ you should be able to get a G45 for about 110$. it's great for overclocking.

Not any z77 will do. The op said he wanted to crossfire so he should get a mobo with pci-e 3.0 2(x8/x8) if he gets a cheap one the second card will only be x4
