Need help deciding on a mobo

[dorrks]

I have an i7 3770k 1155 and a gtx 760 what would be the best mobo i could get with a budget of around $150

Its an unlocked CPU so get any mobo from Asus or MSI that has Z97 chipset.

It's a socket 1155 CPU, so he needs a z77 mobo.

As far as my recommendation for a mobo, one that is z77, sexy, and cheap.

LOL and you said AM3+ is a dead platform...

How does that make sense? That's like me saying, "oh, am1 is a dead platform"

1155 is already out of the loop, just like 1156 and am1.

those 1155 boards are very rare to find available and are pricy, so you'd be lucky to find one...let alone finding one at good price...buy the one you can find available.

 

Good luck!

 

EDIT: this one is available and seem to be the best bang for the buck right now:

I second the asrock extreme4.  I have one and it's been a great board.

 

Newegg has them for a few bucks cheaper.

So why the hell you called AM3+ dead, if people sitting on Ivy Bridge have no upgrade path ?

Because am3+ is dead? 1155 is dead, 1156 is dead, am2/+ is dead, 775 is dead. What is your point. A dead socket just means that its not going to be continued.

I'm really not seeing your point.
