Getting a new build,
Here's what I'm getting:



CPU: i5 3570k
Motherboard: Don't Know
GFX: Currently 560Ti was looking to get 660Ti?
RAM: Don't know

Can anyone recommend a good motherboard but not super expensive, I don't know much about Intel motherboards.
Could someone help me out with a ATX and a m-ATX for a Bitfenix Prodigy.

Cheers

How much is your budget, the i5 3570k is the last generation Ivybridge chip. Haswell is newer, however is slightly limited in the M-ITX scene.

There really is not much difference between Haswell and Ivy is there?
All I can see is a small amount of different with more expensive motherboards?

Budget for Motherboard <=£150
Budget for GPU doesn't matter really just want a mid/high range card.

Ivy i would go:

3570k - £186 : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-404-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1275
Z77X-D3H - £113 : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-390-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261

Haswell

4670k - £198 : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-470-IN

Z87X-D3H - £128 : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-436-GI

Save £27 going Ivy.. I may be tempted to go for Haswell. :D
