Solution manofchalk Oct 27, 2013 Get yourself a decent H77 board. No point getting a Z77 board considering that your chip cant overclock, nor does it need beefy VRM since its a low power chip. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-p8h77vle If you have a lot of fans, I suggest not bothering with the motherboard fan headers and just getting a dedicated fan controller. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992012&Tpk=NZXT%20Sentry%20Mix
