Which motherboard should I choose with an i5-3470?

[mtspeer]

I was thinking the AS Rock Extreme 4
AS Rock Pro-4m
If you have any suggestions I'm all ears: I would prefer the brands Gigabyte, ASUS, AS Rock
I don't want to OC

My build so far is:
Intel i5-3470
Corsair 8GB RAM
GeForce gtx 660 superclocked
WD 1TB HDD
Corsair 128 GB SSD
Cooler master HAF 922 case

Since you do not want to Overclock, this motherboard should be just fine for you. It also has the ability to do SLI or Crossfire, has USB3, Sata 3 (6GB/sec) ports which should do you just fine. I am sure this board would suit your needs :

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Motherboard: MSI ZH77A-G43 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($82.86 @ Newegg)
Total: $82.86
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

I hope this helps. Is there anything else that I can do for you?

I'm not familiar with that brand, I updated my thread above if that helps. since I don't plan on OCing I heard AS Rock H77 model was good?

Any B75, H77 board will work, I really suggest Asrock for the cheap but very good mobos and ASUS for solid and well performers.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131826 ASUS good for board

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157302 good for the money asrock

Thanks for the links, I'm still debating on whether to go to the i5-3570k..it's only $20 more, but I'm not going to OC. do you have any Z77 Mobos for that?

The brand is not a problem at all. Anyways, can you also tell me that do you do SLI in the future. This is important to know as we might be able to suggest you something that suits your needs perfectly..

Anyways MSI is a good brand and you should not have any problem with that motherboard if you are not going to overclock. So if you can go for that Motherboard, then go for it. It is an awesome motherboard for the price with SLI and ever fancy stuff and it is also from a good company.

Going to an i5 3570k is "better" because if you need a bump of performance later you may overclock it and get a free upgrade, or something like that. But actually i dont see as good unless you are an enthusiast looking for best gaming experience and is willing to pay more, not only in a chip, but also in a more expensive motherboard and also a capable cooler thats to run your system under thermal security. Lets say that the K processor is 20 bucks more, if you are willing to pay 40 bucks for mobo plus 30 bucks for a cooler thats a 90 bucks more for the overclocking potential, which doenst look as good if you consider that an i5 3470 will run all GPU with no problem without bottlenecks or hiccups !

Yea that's true, I picked out the EVO cooler when I orginally planned on getting the 3570. But I heard since you arent going to OC you dont need a cooler, is that true? and I found another option for a mobo.
