New Build

[emodan]

so basically its that time of the cycle where i upgrade my pc
going from my trusty but aged i5 750 @4.2ghz to another i5 build

atm i'm mostly looking at the i5 3570k but i'm unsure about which motherboard to pick

my previous motherboard was an asus p755d evo and its been a rock solid board since day one so am tempted to stick with Asus but i'd like to keep motherboard costs below £120 any tips on which board to pick would be welcome looking for something that will run the 3570k at around 4.2ghz and has all the modern bells and whistles

as i'm selling my old pc with ram included i will need atleast 8gb more ram so hopefully looking for a upgrade vs my hyperx ddr3 1600mhz for around the £50 mark

how much better is the genesis compared to my old hyperx blu

I couldn't possibly answer that tbh, I only use Corsair tbh.

But plenty of other people jumped on that ram a while back, just can't seem to find the thread for it...
