Hello
Can u suggest a CPU and MATX Motherboard.
I've really got my heart set on a i5 3570k CPU

I'm planning to take out my current Motherboard and CPU from my current
build in my sig. I will probably build another computer for my wife with these parts although im not sure if you can get a ITX motherboard for with AM3 socket (She wants a mini pc, classic !)

I'm probably looking at at the lower end of Z77 motherboard but I'm not so sure which ones is the best with regards to features and performance.

I will probably not go down the Cross fire or sli route, but im open to your suggestions

I currently use my PC for Gaming (EVE) and for Development .NET with two monitors.

Cheers.
PS Do I qualify for free shipping yet? ;)
 
Short but sweet
Jeez oh to get free shipping here You have to really jump through hoops.

Back to my main point - Any Suggestion about my Upgrade?
 
Any takers for this - Idleman - suggested a ATX i need a MATX board

I'm just looking for a suggestion for a good Z77 entry level board £70 - £100 .
Can you also say why

Cheers
 
Have a look at something like this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-518-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261 although it might be a little over budget.

Another option: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-517-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261 Which has slightly reduced specs, but is still a good entry level board.

There's also Asrock, but I've heard of questionable issues about their quality control, but I see that you have one in your rig, in which case have a look at this:
