I'm looking to update my system from Q9550 to Ivy Bridge. Keeping my single GTX670, most likely although I'm not really happy that it can't push a steady 60 fps @1920x1200. At least not in Borderlands 2 or Alan Wake. Hence the upgrade plan and also wanting to get rid of my separate storage and USB3 cards. But no rush. Might well wait for Haswell or Broadwell too.
I've been looking at motherboards but it occurs to me that with a single GPU, absolutely no intention of using the built in video, needing about 2 USB ports and plenty of SATA, there really doesn't seem to be any motherboards out for me. At least if I think I shouldn't HAVE to pay for 2-4 useless video connectors on the motherboard.
But anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for my needs? Main parameter being single GPU gaming.
