July 28, 201114 yr I have been looking at the I5 2500k CPU but don't know what the best motherboard is for this CPU. I have been looking at the Asus range of boards, specifically the "P8P67", but can't decide whether to get the Pro version etc. Can anyone help. Nathan Green
July 28, 201114 yr Well I just got the ASRock Z68 Extreme 4 and have been very pleased with it. Made the decision to go with this board after it was recommended on Toms Hardware. Mark CYYZ
July 28, 201114 yr Depends on your needs. SLI? tons of SATA ports? SSD cache? Tri-SLI? ATX or uATX? It all comes down to the features that you need or want
July 28, 201114 yr Author Depends on your needs. SLI? tons of SATA ports? SSD cache? Tri-SLI? ATX or uATX? It all comes down to the features that you need or want My needs are for me to run FSX comfortably with good FPS, but buying componants on a reasonable budget. Nathan Green

Nathan Green I ordered the PRO version along with a 2600K. I couldn't wait any longer! The reason I chose this board is because the layout allows for two gtx 480 in SLI, my RevoDrive, and Creative Soundcard perfectly. Plus, it happens to be one of the best SB boards money can buy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131730 It should be here next week. I can't wait to see the results. Jose MSFS
