Hi guys, I currently have an Asus P8P67-Deluxe Revision 1.xx, Southbridge Rev.2

I cannot upgrade the BIOS further than Version 2302 because of the outdated Revision of my board. I don't think it will support Ivy Bridge CPU's on this revision so..

My question is, What good boards are out there that I could upgrade to, that can support Sandy bridge (I'm using an i5 2500 and will until I save up, after I buy a new mobo) and Ivy Bridge, but is good for gaming and costs around £100.

I am using my AMD/ATi Asus 7970 gpu at the moment, 8GB Gskill 1600mhz DDR3, and ofc my i5 2500 @3.3ghz.

as I said I would appreciate it if someone could find me a board that is Ivy bridge ready but can support 2nd gen cpus too.
Oh and preferably 2x PCI-E 3.0

Thanks in advance,
Tom.
