Hello everyone,
am planning to get the new sandy bridge architecture i5 2500 3.3Ghz Quad Core CPU. (Am not interested in overclocking ref: '2500k'). I've learned that the new architecture requires a 1155 pins socket. So I am looking for some very affordable compatible motherboard but from good brands such as ASUS, MSI. My budget for the Motherboard will be more or less about a $100 maybe a little more if there is no alternative but that's it, I've seen some other motherboards on the net but they are quite expensive.
Note:
The Motherboard need to be able to use the integrated GPU on the die even though i probably won't use it. Just in case i need to remove my discrete card or if some problem should arise with the card.
I'll be using a single PCI-E Graphics Card, am not interested in SLI/Crossfire
Thanks for your help and excuse the 'noobness' of my questions, am just starting to learn about these things.
