Hey forum, i need a mobo for this build:

CPU: Intel i5 2500k

GPU: ASUS ENGTX560 TI

memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB

HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1TB

Optical Drive: LG CD/ Burner

PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2

Extra info: Runs on windows 7 64bit, no sli, no overclocking, the cheaper the better, i prefer a z68 chipset if i can afford it, resolution 1920x1080 on a 21.5 inch screen.

Thanks in advance for any help you offer.

I have no idea what to look for

modular means the cables arent attched to the PSU
you can plug in the cables you need instead of having on big mess of tangled cables
this is a modular
