In looking at mommyboards at New Egg and Amazon, I find so many I am unable to make reasonable determinations regarding suitability, so am hoping some of you who have new(ish) intel-compatible boards could offer some hints.
my build last year was on an ASRock Z77 Extreme3 board I got deeply discounted at newegg during a black friday kinda sale. I5-3570k (which runs quite stably at 4.2GHz) 16GB ram. 250GB Samsung SSD disk0. nvidia gt640 video card (I don't game, but I do like opengl stuff to perform nicely) used the same Coolermaster CM690 case and Antec PSU I already had.
