Kbkasey · 28 Feb 2012 at 21:36

Hello, so i have been changing my new computer soo much! The planning to buy all parts anyway... So what motherboard should i get? Budget no more then £100 please :x
i5 2500k (I want to overclock to 4.5ghz)
one graphics card will be 2x soon
need ddr3 support 1600mhz corsair 8gb so dual channel
usb 3.0 support if possible

decent!
Please suggest some! Really finding this annoying as i have been on the internet for hours looking lol..

thanks

EDIT: Tell me if it would be more worth it to go over £100 and why.

Only one under £100 that'll do SLI/Crossfire at 8x/8x, fulfils all your requirements.

Added one above in my post, it does SLI/Crossfire at 8X/8X and is within budget

Oo ok and are you sure i should go with this one? I mean it wouldn't hurt to much to go over but would it be worth it?

An extra £10 gets PCI-E3.0 support (with Ivybridge CPU's)

But the speed of 3.0 vs 2.0 is currently wasted as even a 7970 card doesnt benefit from it.

Ity will work just thing with a i5 2500K, its also Ivybridge compatible with one of the later BIOSes.

It has SATA cables in the box.
