Hello

i have a question if you may ..which of the these motherboards would give me better performance.. i have them both offered at the same price

asus P8H61-M LE or gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3

i will use them with intel i5 2500k processor
my use is low to medium gaming heavy browsing(loooots of tabs) and heavy work programs

thanks in advance

They are about the same, but Gigabyte has also USB3 ports GA-H61M-USB3-B3.

thanks
but the asus also has usb3...
i was more inclined to the asus because of gpu boost feature even though i am not entirely sure what this is.....

do u still recommend asus..

i will rely on the sandy bridge integrated graphics of i5...

on a side note

will an VERY old generic 900w psu be enough for
500gb hard
i5 2550k
no individual graphic card

thanks

I had Gigabyte, never problem with it and it run 24/7 and it is still running : ) 3/4 years later.

Now I bought ASUS, because they didn't have the Gigabyte model I wanted, so I got ASUS P8Z68 V and it is great OC and stable as I know Gigabyte would be.

I would say these 2 are the 2 top motherboard makers. But others are really close nowadays.
