Hey guys I've been offered a cheap i5 2550K (upgrading from my fx 4100)
So what board should I get, These are what fit into my budget (Im just an everyday gamer who likes to OC when I can)
MSI Z77A-G41 $150.95
Asus P8Z77-M $146.25
Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H $144.91
ASRock Z77 Pro4-M $137.60
ASRock Z77M $136.79
And if you can really convince me to spend the money
Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H $177.16 (but probably not because im a poor student lol)

I'd get the ASUS board or the ASRock board, they've got a good amount of features for the price and are good boards. Where did you get a 2550k they weren't out for very long and I always really wanted one :( a 2500k without the igpu.
which one of the asrocks would you go for???
Got it from a mate no idea how he got it lol
I love Asus motherboards; their ROG series (expensive, gaming oriented) motherboards are extremely high quality, but the P8Z77 series doesn't skimp on anything. If you don't mind the blue, get the Asus; the quality will not disappoint. However, if you want a black motherboard, the AsRock or Gigabyte are your best bets. My go-to brands for motherboards, though, are Asus and Gigabyte.
P8Z77 is a very versatile board. I can vouch for that board too. To get the most bang too get a 3rd gen intel i5
