where can i buy a z77 mobo these days?

[atarisafari]

so today when installing my new graphics card, i made the mistake of trying to remove my old graphics card without fully unclipping it from the pcie slot and ended up bending all of the pins. so now i have to get a new motherboard and i'm not sure where to buy the same one or a similar one as most motherboards compatible with my 3570k seem to be out of stock and not being sold anymore. my motherboard that i have now is a gigabyte z77x-ud4h and i loved it.

also, when i try using the secondary pcie slot for my graphics card, it doesn't work. is this a problem with the graphics card or do motherboards just not allow that?

In SLI setups the second PCIe-x16 slot is restricted to x8 unless you have an LGA 2011(-3), this is the likely issue. A bios setting may help depending on the board.

As for Z77 mobo, have you looked on newegg or amazon? What are you looking to buy?
