So I have been out of the computer world for a little while and I am no longer up to date on current Hardware. The motherboard in my computer died and i need to replace it. I currently have a Intel Core i7 2600k, and i am just wondering what you guys would recommend for me to get. I have no plans to overclock, but I do game quite a bit.

Either of these would be a great choice. The Asus Pro boards and above (i think?) all have Intel NIC, which I like.

Can you live without the PCI slots?
edit: I know that's the one in the System Guide, but i'd gladly pay the 15 bucks extra for an Intel NIC. Not everyone feels the same. The board you linked would work just fine.

I'd suggest the Asus P8Z77-V LK, Asus P8Z77-M Pro or ASRock Z77 Pro4-M as good choices for your unlocked LGA1155 Sandy Bridge processor.
