No overclocking i5 motherboard

[bluepurple]

Hey everyone, I'm building a PC with an i5 2500 and HD 6870, but I'm stuck on the motherboard, I don't want anything special just something that won't blow up my PC. Any suggestions for around £60?

cheap: gigabyte h61 (b3) or asrock h61 (b3) - for non k cpus.

look up the review of your chosen motherboard. make sure it fits the rest of your specs. recommendations are based on price.

great thanks, so in motherboard does price represent features not quality?

 

[de5_Roy]

sometimes both. most of the times - features.

great so what about something like http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-p8h61-m-le-rev-30-intel-h61-s-1155-ddr3-sata-ii-3gb-s-pcie-20-%28x16%29-d-sub-%28vga%29-dvi-d-micro-atx i chose asus because it has a very good repuation, while the board may not have many features or any long term potential, would it be good quality and suitable for a non overclocking build?

i'm basing the build on http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i5-overclock-performance-gaming,3097.html but with more ram and a better cpu
