Hi all, as the title says really, I'm going for a i5 CPU, my budget for a mobo is around £110, I've really not got a clue what one to get, I will want to overclock it at a later date but I'm not a extreme overclocker.
I'll probably be putting 4GB of ram in it ( DDR3 ) & I cant imagine I'll be using Xfire or SLi allthough I am building this with gaming in mind.


Any sugestions ?

Thanks in advance
 
I'm also building an i5 rig myself. My list may help you abit.

i am looking at the gigabyte ud4 mobo for a little more but i believe the ud3 might fit your budget.
 
I went for the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe - great board, but a little over your budget estimate ! - tbh, the other boards in the range are all highly regarded and, for the most part, will give good results I would think :) Also, news is that ASUS have markedly improved their UK RMA setup, so win-win !
As for the Ripjaw, there have been some rumours around high~ish fail rate on modules - I myself am currently RMAing the CL7 stuff as one stick was dead :( Still, G.Skill is a good brand.....for me, just jumped on the Patriot Viper II Sector 5 stuff, so will see.....
