    IMO you should wait a month or so for more motherboards to come out, I mean, look, OcUK only have 9 motherboards you can choose from.

    P.S. Look around, OcUK is expensive.

    I had my eyes set on Asus motherboards for the past year because the ones they have around the £100 price point seem to always have the features i'm looking for and are well rated for quality so I don't think there'l be more Asus boards in the next month that aren't here already. But I will look around for other prices. Although i'm trying to decide between those two still.

    There is no need to get a K version CPU with H67 motherboard. Saves yourself a tenner. But then again, why not. It could improve the sale value of the chip if you ever change your mind.

    K version has twice the power for onboard graphics as the non K version.

    Ahh it does?

    Good find

    Definitely worth the extra tenner then. Why would they sell that increase for so cheap?

    Extra £30 maybe

    Also i've decided to cash out another £20 for an aftermarket cooler rather than use the stock one.
