So I'm looking for a cheap way to upgrade my H61M motherboard (ASUS P8 H61-MX R2.0) to a motherboard that has:
4 RAM slots
2 (or more) Graphics card slots (for crossfire down the road)
USB 3.0 Header (To get rid of the nasty PCI-E expansion slot I have which is slightly blocking airflow to the GPU and, overall, giving a messy look to my cables)
LGA 1155 socket
I was purusing eBay and found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Asus-P8Z77-V-LX2-Motherbard-Socket-1155-DDR3-ATX-S-ATA-600-No-I-O-Shield-/281358884222?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopMotherboards_CPUs_CA&hash=item41824bdd7e It's a manufacturer refurbished Z77 board, for just £31. I know it has no I/O shield but i can get one of those.
So should I consider buying this board? or are there better alternatives?
Thanks Guys
EDIT: I know the original board I have is mATX/uATX but I have a mid-tower case and can definitely support an ATX board, also if it wasn't apparently from the eBay link, I live in the UK
