MOBO HELP

[sybaris]

Hello,

I am going to build a new PC and have decided that I will probably go for an
i7 3770K. I don't intend to upgrade for the next 4 years and when I do I will start from scratch.

I am looking for a mobo that will clock this CPU to 4.5ghz or higher
Has a 1BG lan port
4 x SATA 6gb
at least 1 E-SATA

Either an ASUS or Gigabyte board in the region of £70-£130.


Will be using one graphics card, currently a GTX480se ( may change this next year).

Will also be cooling with a Corsair H80 or H100

Not yet decided what RAM to go for yet but looking for 16GB or 32GB

Any suggestions?

The Gigabyte Z77-D3H is the best budget Z77 board on the market, if you want a PC with just a single GFX card (it doesnt support SLI) then its fine.

Kitguru even gave it the budget board for 2012 award - http://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/zardon/kitguru-annual-awards-2012/5/


If you want the option of SLI (and thus a motherboard that also does crossfire correctly at 8x/8X) then the £112 Z77X-D3H
