so, i'm out of touch with latest hardware world.

one of my friends decided to buy an i7, and gave me his i3 3220 proc. sadly, is better than my q6600 (at least in what i'm doing) so i decided to buy a proper motherboard for it.

temporarly i use an motherboard i found at my workplace (h61m-s1)
-> i canot acces 2 sata cause my videocard is over them.
it does not have pci ports (i have an old firewire card and i need it).
have only 2x memory slots, i need 4x.

so, what cheap good enough mb should i search for ? i like gigabyte and asrock usually. what chipset ? i can spent probably around 100-150$ at top.

i dont intend to do any crazy oc (probably no oc at all). and no sli crossfire.
i will probably get an i5 in the future. not in a near future, but still.

thanks.

The one i got is fairly cheap and mid budget (meaning not low budget nor too expensive Razz)

(expect price between €70 and €90 for this)

got a bit of luck (i hope at least Smile ), and my regular shop showed me this http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LK/ for about 110$ (without accessories and back shield).
will get it tomorrow, i have 10 days to decide if i want to keep it.
