I'm really not sure which motherboard to get. I'm trying to figure out which motherboard looks like it will fit my needs. Does anyone know a good site or channel that reviews and breaksdown the features that each motherboard has. Ive looked at some of the manufacturer sites and they give a lot of info but i think they are to biased to trust completely.EDIT I'll be using a i5-3570k.
what cpu?
i5-3570k
you go on newegg.... you pick your cpu socket and type...... then find a mb in your price range wth the features you want. everything is in the details page. theres tons of info, but it all makes sense, so dont get afraid with the ammount of info it throws at you.
get a z77
get an ATX. mATX are useually cheap and crappy.
get a evga, asus, gigabyte, asrock, msi, biostar
If you want to run sli/xfire then check it supports that at x8x8 or x16x16 bandwidth
then just pic one you like based on what ever you cant really go wrong (i go mainly on pcie layout and sound card)
Internal sound card comaparison chart
it will most likely be an ALC 889, ALC 892 or vt2021 avoid the ALC 892 as it has low signal to noise ratio.
