All you need is an Intel 7 series mobo with a PCIe slot. Just pick one in your price range and be done with it.

The cheapest motherboard for i5-3470 and GTX 650 Ti are:

ASRock H71M-DGS
ASrock B75M-DGS
Asus H61M
Gigabyte GA H61M
MSI H61M.

Go for the cheapest among these.

Eh, I wouldn't go 6 series just in case the bios that comes with it doesn't support Ivy Bridge.

Good caution though. I only wanted to buy ASRock motherboards because they were the cheapest for the same feature set, so didn't have this concern because ASRock named their boards "H71" which is not an official Intel nomenclature. I got the ASRock B75M-DGS which supports Ivy Bridge processors. ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI still called their boards H61(B3). Good to check with the shop when you buy.

How about the cheapest board with 4 mem slots. I have 8GB of Ripjaws 2GB by 4 sticks. And I don't want to buy new mem since it is so expensive now. And my 1600 ram is still pretty good by today's gaming standards. I am thinking about the 3470 i5 or the 8320, But I can get the i5 cheaper if I can find a cheap mobo. But I can get a good 990 with the 8320 for cheaper than I can the same quality 1155 mobo
