**Urgent Help 4 - IVY Bridge Rig*

[skeletor]

Now I am totaly confused about mobo selection, Is there any product having proved performance with almost similar budget range ? I don't want to bet my money on doubted asrock mobo now please suggest me with universally accepted product to have peace of ki mind.

Spend more and buy this one - ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3

For some reason I don't like mATX motherboards as I prefer extra expansion slots. (ATX) Always good to have them if you decide to add something like TV Tuner, Sound Card etc. in future.

Nice build except the processor and mobo. You could have gone with I5 2400 and DH67CL B3 .

Thanks bro,

there are two reasons of buying i5-2500K, first one is that difference between 2400 & 2500K locally was mere 700-800 bucks, plus i don't want to loose the future overclocking capability of i5-2500K (though the DH67CL dont sup OC, but the idea here is below calculation:

Current price of good OC capable mobo (z77) = 11K
Current price of DH67Cl - 5.4 K (5.6K cheaper)

I will be overclocking after 2-3 years so I expect by that time Z77 or better mobo to be available around 6K budget hence by spending same amount of money(that too after 3 years ) I will be having two mobo and till the time i don't OC DH67 will serve the purpose for me

Strange theory na
