    Advice needed

    Given the huge choice of boards to accompany an i2500k, I eventually decided upon the MSI P67A-GD53. £101.60 was dead on my budget for the build. Sadly they are out of stock at my preferred supplier with no eta. So...on the off chance I cannot get hold of one, which other board would people recommend?
    The planned build would be with an i5 2500k, sata3 hard disk, 4gig 1600mhz ram 1.5v and a MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB. No plans to go SLi, and will overclock at some point in the near future. My current rig is getting a bit dated and on it's last legs, so a good reliable board below £101, doesn't need all singing all dancing features but a user friendly bios, p67 or z68 doesn't matter. The cheaper the better

    Re: Advice needed

    Just put a system together for a freind, and needed a budget board too - in the end I got a Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 on offer @ £75.
    Without doubt a great board if you have zero SLi plans I can highly recommend it as a great over clocking board at a budget price.

    Easily does everything my greatly more expensive Asrock gen4 does for the 2500K
    I have not been a fan of MSI for a long time btw.
