Sub £100 mobo for an i5 760?

H55 is designed for the i3 and i5 6xx series to support the integrated graphics solutions. For i5 760 you would be better of going for a P55 board, I think. How important, in order, are the following features: sli/x-fire support, USB3/SATA3, full size ATX? That might help you narrow down the P55 choices.
 
Hi there,

Will you be needing a board that can support SLI, so you can add in a second GTX 460 at some point in the future? If so, this board is pretty good.

When comparing P55 to H55, P55 boards are usually larger (most are full ATX, not micro-ATX) so they have more PCIe and PCIe connectors, certain P55 boards support multi-GPU configurations (SLI/CrossfireX). H55 boards have display connections so they can be used with the on-chip graphics of i3 and i5 (600 series) CPUs, however as you are using a quad core i5 760 then this will not be used.
 
hiya chaps

SLI isnt that important really, neither is USB3. SATA 6.0 with be nice mind. Most important really is overclok ability.
 
Any of the Gigabyte's mb's will do what you want as far as overclocking goes...mini, micro, H55, P55, they all clock the same.
