Motherboard suggestions?

Published on November 12, 2012 By Anthony R In Personal Computing

Its really tough to choose a mobo for the rig I'm building. Its probably the toughest choice to make. I generally want Intel Z77, LGA1155, 32GB ram, and at least 2 x SATA 6Gb. Which motherboard would be best? Gigabyte seems solid. What would you use if you were building a rig now? I don't really need an extreme gaming rig with 4 cards.

@OP:

Choice of MoBo depends a lot on what you want that PC to be capable of and what your budget is. Like, you specify you want 32 Gigs Ram, which tells me you do more than just gaming, browsing, googling, etc. So...yeah

Most cases from Corsair, Roswell, and Antec look like Mattel toys for kids.

That's why I stick with Lian Li ...

If that's the case [pun] I could just build it out of Meccano [I have enough]....

This might be my next case...... Corsair Obsidian 900D

Put bluntly, it's a monster of a case, just take a look at the link and you'll see what I mean.

The idea isnt bad, Meccano is strong and has high quality ( i had it as a kid ) you could add a lot of detail to a case if you would build one with it.
I also own a Lian Li case the bf25 blue ring the case looks very minimal but the quality is just super, and its hard to find a better case once you bought a good Lian Li case... but i have seen some self build cases that are just amazing like this one i would get one of those over any Lian Li case ^^
