Hi,

I have an intel 1155 LGA 22NM CPU which is an i5 3470 @3.2ghz

I'd like to overclock it but have no idea on what mother board would be best. Need a pcie and pci slot and hope you guys could help me out with finding a good MOBO.

Not looking to overspend. Just something solid and stable.

Many thanks,

Is it a 3470 or 3470K? If its the non K version, Then you won't be able to overclock it.

I'm using the same on an asrock Z75 pro3 board. Not a great board for OCing but has plenty of features. I can OC four bins higher and with boost it runs at 3.8-4.0. I've turned the fan on my cooler all the way down and its quiet. The board also comes with 775 mounting holes.

As long as you have the OC feature I wouldn't worry about getting a premium board.
