I'm getting myself an i5 2500k and 8 GB DDR3-1600 ram in the near future (think within the next 7 days likely) but need to decide on a motherboard to go with it.
My budget is around £80 or so. I could perhaps stretch a little higher, but money is tight so I want to keep it as cheap as possible.
The computer will be used solely for gaming (1920x1200), although I am aware that I will need a new graphics card soon. Ideally I would like the motherboard to be Gen3 so I can take PCIe3.0 cards and have Crossfire/SLI capability just in case. I also need a PCI slot for my soundcard.
Any suggestions? I'm not averse to buying second hand if needs be.
