Looking for a new mobo!

[Zubin123]

Hi guys. Recently I found out that my Intel DH61WW mobo has a broken ram slot. Looking for a good budget mobo. My specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
CPU:Intel i5 2500K @ 3.3 GHz (LGA 1155)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560 1GB
RAM: 2x4 GB Transcend 1333MHz
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 320GB @ 7200RPM and
Seagate Barracuda 1TB @ 7200RPM
I live in India so im looking for a board which costs around 5000-7000 Rs. In $ thats around 90-130$. THX IN ADVANCE
And just one more thing out of curiosity..... If I change my mobo i dont need to reinstall windows or anything right? Just plug everything into the new Mobo and done right?

Does the form factor of the mobo matter to you???

regarding windows i dont think it should need any reinstallation but im not sure, just keep the hdd and boot it, you should have all your stuff

Anything is fine xD. Just a good budget mobo with over clocking and good ram. And if i had to specify form factor, I'd say like my current one, that is Micro-ATX. Thx for advice on the OS

No suggestions guys?

Take a look at the Rock's Z77 Extreme 4, reasonable and arguably the best 1155 mobo there was, goes about $125

 

[Zubin123]

I checked it out, its a bit too expensive here, its abt 12000 RS which is 200$. Any other suggestions?

 

[Tradesman1]

No idea of whats available

 

[Zubin123]

Ok I found 2.
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
Check these out and tell me which I should go for

 

[Tradesman1]

I'd look for a Z77 or P67, the B75 mobos are lower ends and not for OCing

 

[Zubin123]

Ok let's say I don't wanna over clock, cuz mostly all it does is reduce its life. Are one of these a a good choice.

 

[Tradesman1]

Either should work fine ....

Either should work fine ....

Right, then I'd go for the D3H for its 32 GB ram support and also both have PCI 3.0 capabilities. Ill wait for some more suggestions, else u will get best answer!
