Hi, I'm doing a new build and need some advice on the best motherboard...
Here is the system I'm thinking of getting
i5 2500k
G.Skill 8GB DDR3 2133MHz
GTX 570
OCZ 120GB Agility 3 SSD
I already have a very good PSU, case and conventional HDD so don't need to get them. If you think my system is unbalanced let me know, however I'm a bit limited. I'll be using my PC mostly for graphics rendering/encoding and games. I know a lot of people would recommend a i7 2600k for that, but it's out of my price range and isn't an option. I can't cut back on my graphics to get a better CPU as I'll be doing a lot of graphics rendering, so I need a good one, it also has to be Nvidia as I NEED CUDA. Because of my budget I can only get 8GB RAM, but I might update later. The SSD is just the cheapest for that size, simple.
So can anyone recommend me the best mobo to go with the above system?
I was thinking of something like this...

I'd prefer a Z68 chipset as I want to do a bit of overclocking.
Thanks...
