Advice for replacing an LGA1155 board

[movieman162]

Hi guys,

So I had a P8P67 Pro die on me a few months ago and I am finally getting around to working on replacing it. Problem I am having is that the only new LGA1155 boards I can find are fairly entry level ASRock ones. The rest are mostly used for this socket.

So I basically was wondering if anyone had advice on either buying used board (ie from amazon) or if you guys knew anywhere I can still find a decent ATX LGA1155 board from. Im limited by budget (uni student) which is why I am trying to replace the board and not just build a whole new system.

Cheers

Only real option is a second hand board from an auction site.

Sadly auction site is your real only option, and prices can be high. Normally £70-90 for a decent board.
Only know this as I had to buy one for my brother recently.
