Best mobo brand to stick with? Recommendations?

[Fallengod]

I will be heading out to Microcenter tomorrow to pick up one of their bundle deals. I havnt really paid much attention to motherboards lately.

Which current mobo brand is good/stable/reliable/has good tech support? I was thinking gigabyte but.... What are some good recommended z68 mobos?

Which of these mobos would be good with an intel 2500k?

I recommend Gigabyte or ASUS, both are good quality.

I got my 2500K and GB mobo at MC on Black Friday, I wanted the UD3 but they had already sold the last one, so I got the next one down... I'm very happy with it.

Gigabyte for sure!

You can get a dud from any of them.

Pick the one with the features you want at the price you like and hope for the best.

Well I couldnt figure it out but its hard to beat the bundle deal so I had to pick one that Microcenter carries.

I ended up getting the Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3. It wasnt too expensive and hopefully allows for some overclocking as well.

I hope you don't buy your automobiles by this strategy!

Asus and gigabyte boards do well. I would love to have the maximus or z68 pro personally.

Gigabyte may very well be the best motherboard brand out there.Gigabyte motherboards have received consistent, above average to high ratings from all major computer supply sites. Overall customer satisfaction for Gigabyte boards is positive. Obviously not every review is this positive, but for the most part, Gigabyte has had a solid customer satisfaction rate. They are also top notch when it comes to keeping up with new technologies. For example, Gigabye was one of the first manufacturers to release a motherboard with USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 support.
I also recommend for ASUS.

I have used Abit, Gigabyte, Asus, Biostar, MSI, and even a generic VIA 133A board over the years and all worked fantastically well...Except for a Gigabyte GF6100 S939 board that was rubbish. It's even harder to get wrong these days no matter what you choose, barring a few very number of exceptional cases.

I've used exclusively Gigabyte for a few years now, but I've had plenty of success with Asus as well. Usually just go with the most bang for my buck with a reputable brand..
