Upgrade MoBo for LGA 1155 socket

[aditya4pc]

Hi All,
I have a 2 year old computer with i5 2400 @ 3.10GHz Sandy Bridge processor and DH61WW (LGA1155 CPU 1) MoBo. I am looking for upgrading my mobo to something which supports SATA 6gbps and USB 3.

So what are my options?
Being from India, we have least options. I have searched and find following 2 options.
1. http://www.flipkart.com/intel-dh77eb-motherboard/p/itmd9mpbn2zrttps?pid=MBDD9MPBN2ZRTTPS

2. http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-ga-b75m-d3h-motherboard/p/itmdacp2gubgfpfm?pid=MBDDACP2GUBGFPFM

Will any of these work with my current processor? If not how to find compatible MoBo?


Thanks
Aditya

Both of those motherboards will work fine; they're intended for ix-3000 series processors, but are backward compatible with ix-2000 series processors like your i5-2400. I'd go for the first option with the H77 chipset myself since it has 2 SATA 6Gb/s ports rather than just one.

Thanks voltoid27
You are right the H77 is better.
I have got one SSD which I was using with reduced speed.

Ah, I know what that's like. I installed a Samsung 840 EVO into an old Dell Dimension E310 with SATA 1.5 Gb/s and wasn't impressed with the results, so I definitely see where you're coming from
