Been out of the game

Thu Mar 14, 2013 12:06 pm

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.

edit: I spoke before thinking in all honesty though. Should have asked budget constraints, GPU plans (SLI,CfX etc) and other things. Regardless, the boards above are both great choices.

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.
· R7-5800X, Liquid Freezer II 280, RoG Strix X570-E, 64GiB PC4-28800, Suprim Liquid RTX4090, 2TB SX8200Pro +4TB S860 +NAS, Define 7 Compact, Super Flower SF-1000F14TP, S3220DGF +32UD99, FC900R OE, DeathAdder2
