i upgrading to a P55 or P67 chipset, just wondering what video card matches up well with either, probably going to a single GTX 570, i use the system tomainly game and i dont need to go the SLI route, also will be using a ssd drive, i also want to move up to a newer socket than 775, any MB rec's would be great

P55 chipsets and the 1156 socket fits the "old" i5 and some i7's, while the P67 chipset and 1155 socket fits the new Sandy Bridge i5s and i7s.

You need to decide which processor before you decide which chipset.

The i5-2500K is currently rated as the best for gamers because of its overclocking ability.
