Help choosing the right motherboard for gaming

[guyf1712]

Hi,

I'm willing to buy a new computer soon.
I search for the right motherboard for my system.
CPU: Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 3570K Socket 1155 6MB 3.4Ghz Tray
Graphic Card: Sapphire HD7850 OC 2GB GDDR5
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

I'm not going to do OverClocking. only the graphic card is OC.

What MotherBoard works the best with this ingredients?

Thanks,
Guy.

Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-M PRO ~12000/- [It'd the best one to buy for your RIG.]

Hope this help.

Cheers.

The ASUS P8Z77-M PRO is a micro ATX solution if you are taking form factor into consideration. The two I linked are ATX FYI.

Bro i never point on your suggestion given to OP. You have given the best one, Their is no deny it. But i can also suggest him with my own thoughts. Hope you don't mind it.

 

[utahraptor]

I don't mind at all. I think he should link his case so we know what will actually fit

 

[Tintan]

Yup. Let's hope he can post some pic of his case. Until then our suggested MOBO is just a waste.

 

[guyf1712]

thx guys. I think I'll go for ASRock Z77 Extreme4.

thx guys. I think I'll go for ASRock Z77 Extreme4.

It was a good choose for your rig and it can help you in OC with in ease. I want to ask you a Q. What's your cabinet name?.

cabinet name?

 

[utahraptor]

I think he is asking what kind of case you have. If you have a micro ATX case you don't want to go with an ATX board.

 

[guyf1712]

Antec P280, Mid Tower.

 

[utahraptor]

Then you are good for either micro ATX or ATX.

 

[guyf1712]

Which one is better? micro ATX or ATX?

 

[utahraptor]

People generally select the micro ATX if they are using a small case for easy transport to and from a LAN party for instance. The only draw back of having is they usually have less PCIe slots. If you are not using multiple graphics cards or other PCIe cards then it is not really an issue. If your case has a side window panel (yours does not) it may look strange having a smaller board in a normal sized case.
