Hi all

I plan on getting a Core i3 530 and overclocking it to 3.5ghz ~ 4ghz... What would be the best option? A P55 or H55 chipset? I plan on getting 4/8gb of RAM but don't think I'll be going CrossFire.

Any recommendations? I only upgrade every 2.5-3 yrs so it needs to be a decent mobo :)

thanks all!

(and yes I've been reading a lot but I'd like to see unbiased opinions)

I'm sure you already know but you'll need the H55 chipset to support the graphics processor on the i3, do you have any plans to use the intergrated graphics?
