Hi guys,

I'm looking for a good motherboard with very fast ethernet speeds.

Wireless capability is not needed.

I don't have an exact budget, but the price needs to be very reasonable.

I'm thinking the board should be mid-high range.

Here are my specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k (Probably not overclocking)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
SSD: Samsung 840 Series 120GB (To boot the OS from)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB
Case: Antec Eleven Hundred ATX Full Tower Case

Also, what PSU do you recommend.

And i'm also looking for a read/write optical drive.

Thanks, Dylan

Get ASRock Z77 Extreme3 Motherboard.
Very reasonable, support OC, and almost everything you want.

I am considering you want to OC later due to your CPU's model number.

It supports upto 1 Gbps speeds.
