Hi all,

Building a new htpc, going to be running a Intel g530 until I can save for an I5 /if it needs it.

Was going to wait for the amd fm2 socket but just seems too long a wait.

I am stuck however on which motherboard to get,

My requirements are usb 3 header, 1 sata 3 port and Matx.
Also as cheap as possible

Choices so far are between

MSI H77MA-G43 Intel H77

MSI B75MA-P45

ASRock H77M Intel H77

I am not interested in Z77 for my htpc as they are out of budget.

Out of the three above the B75 chipset is about 20 pound cheaper than the other two, other than only having 1 sata 3 port is there any reason to spend an extra £20 just for H77?

Thanks all!
