Best solution
i don't know where you heard that, but my advice; ignore it. a good deal of budget non-OCed i5 gaming builds here and there uses a cheap B75/H77/H61/H67 boards paired with mid to high end GPUs, and works just fine. i'd reckon my i5-2310 + Gigabyte P61 board can handle a 7970 just fine.
if there's one issue i have with my build that consists of a cheap board and a 6870, that used to costs a lot more than the board then, it's that there's no magical driver download to give it the performance of a 7870
