Get the Z77X-D3H motherboard if you want SLI/Xfire (option to run two graphics cards), otherwise get a Z77-D3H.
I'm guessing you will be wanting a complete spec. Normally people post in the general hardware section, for specs. We will need to know your budget, and what stuff you don't need; i.e monitor, OS, etc.

thanks people. i think im going to go with an i5. any suggestions for mobo's? and should i go dual or quad core?

Are you doing a full build or an upgrade? What's your budget? Any parts you already have?

All i5s are quad core pal

All 'desktop' i5's are quad core you mean

My work laptop has an i5 CPU, but it certainly isn't quad core.
