Shall i get B75 or H77 ? H77 is $100 . . B75 is $85 after shipping. both are ATX. or shall i look for other motherboard options ?
i read that the difference is the OC, that make the cost higher.
Since i am not OC'ing the CPU, its fine. No performance is lost if i get B75.
What do you guys think ?
also a mod on toms suggested me B75 because i will not be OC'ing the CPU

If you do not want to OC and save money there, it all depends upon you.. Upon your decision.. You will not mention any performance difference in the processing power.. kinda big deal. Go for it if you don't want to OC.. But again.. Look for ASUS or Gigabyte.. The best motherboard companies...

The best 7850 out there is the his 7850 iceq x turbo x. It is better, cooler and quiter than any other 7850 out there. Get it.
I think the b75 chipset is for medium businesses and comes with management features, so get the h77.

u mean this ? HIS IceQ X H785QN2G2M Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Newegg.com - HIS IceQ X H785QN2G2M Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
im gonna get the HIS IceQ X as planned before as it is cheaper. And if gigabyte is a better brand i'm going with Gigabyte H77 board

Why are you misleading the OP (Although he is not misguided)? Pairing a K series SB processor in a H77 motherboard doesn't make any sense as H77 doesn't support Overclocking. Another problem is as he is going with SB instead of Ivy Bridge, PCI-E 3.0, couple of USB 3.0 ports will be disabled which get their bandwidth from the Ivy Bridge CPU.

You got exactly opposite, if you get SB then the disabled part will come. I was referring the 2500K. The reason is now a days Intel packs everything like PCI-E Bus, SATA III and USB 3.0 bus etc inside the CPU which previously used to be present inside Motherboard South-bridge chipset.
Now Ivy bridge offers USB 3.0 controller as well as more number of PCI-E lanes or in other words more bandwidth for the external components. If you plug SB then you won't get the extra bandwidth, hence disabling couple of USB 3.0 ports.
