Please suggest a motherboard for LGA 1155 socket CPU.
Budget: 5k (flexible)
GPU: MSI 7850hd
Over clocking: yes
Ssd: planning for future upgrade
CPU cooler: CM evo212
Ram: 8 GB ripjaws 1600
PSU: Cm gx550
I busted my old mobo so need to use these components with new one.
Thanks

Spend 900 bucks more and get Intel DZ68DB.

Thanks harshilsharma63,
I checked on Intel site and have two concerns:
1.my gpu is PCI e 3.0 compatible and this only has 2.0.
2. Ram support is 1333/1066. Will it work my gskill 1600 ram

it is backward compatible. so dont worry.

2. Ram support is 1333/1066. Will it work my gskill 1600 ram

the ram will automatically downclock to 1333mhz. so dont worry again.

how much flexible is your budget?? have a look at Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3 and Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H

I can go up to 7k....if OC is not the priority which one will be best value for money.

Thanks for your suggestion

This is the best you can get at 7k - so hurry
