Pls Recommend a LGA 1155 Motherboard
My existing desktop:
CPU: i5-2500K (LGA 1155)
MEM: 20GB DDR3
MOBO: Acer Aspire M3970 (Bios: P02 A2)
Chipset: Intel Sandy Bridge
Southbridge: Intel H67
My complaints:
x PCIe slots are mostly 1x lane Gen 2
x No USB 3.0
x Incompatible with i7-3770 CPU
I was given an i7-3770 CPU. To avoid having to dump my existing ram and CPU, I would like to upgrade only the motherboard to a better LGA 1150 mobo with USB 3.0 support, i7 support, and has at least 3 PCIe Gen2x4 (or better) slots. Price, < $110
Any recommendations?
