    Hey guys,

    Was planning on getting an i5 2500k but managed to get a 2400 second hand for a decent price and so am happy to stick with this (not too worried about oc'in anyway, though I know it to be great with the 2500k).
    I was planning on getting a Z68AP-D3, but seen as I won't be overclocking would you guys recommend getting a diff mobo and in doing so saving cash? Any particular one's you guys would recommend?

    Thanks in advance

    If there's no overclocking, then any cheap board from a reliable manufacturer will do.
    MSI Z68S-G43
    or
    Gigabyte GA-Z68P DS3
    are the cheapest on scan, both are less than £77.

    I was thinkin of the h61 boards for example as those seem to come in considerably cheaper. Any reason not to?
