Is the Asus P8H77-M Pro compatible with Xeon e3-1230 v2?

Is it? I need to be 100% sure before I order it...

Also, I've heard this mobo is a bit problematic and presented some issues for a number of buyers. Amazon.com in particular has some negative feedback on it.

I'm leaning toward it because it seems like a good mid-range mobo for the right price. I won't be OC'ing anyway, and it has some nice media features. This review sort of convinced me to get it: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-components/motherboards/asus-p8h77-m-pro-1085105/review

So I guess this is a two-fold question: is it compatible with the xeon 1230 v2, and is it a reliable product?

Yes it is but here's a note from Asus *Since Xeon CPU is not desktop CPU model, some feature may not able to work on this combination. For detail, refer to support.asus.com "

Why not get an Core i5 3350p? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html
