Thanks for the help guys!
I already know that my Mobo is messed up, going to get a new one very soon.
Edit: I believe I got a bad board, but that don't put EVGA a "BAD" Mobo company. Every now and then, a bad Mobo gets through, and thats to all Mobo manufactures.
Edit: Can you/y'all recommend me a good Mobo for $300 or less? Was thinking about the ASUS Maximus V Formula z77.

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H would be good (and it costs about 200 bucks I think), but you may want to look into Z68 if you're running a 2550K, in which case my recommendation would be one of the ASUS P8Z68-V series. I have the PRO/GEN3, awesome board, so maybe look a that.

Certainly. Any of the following will be good for you.

i7 3770k @ stock compared to my vishera I'm a little down on multithreaded, but I have over twice as much single threaded, switching to this cpu from vishera gave me a 40 fps increase on the game Smite.
Vishera @ stock
Nice!
Also good to hear that AMD finally can beat intel in something... On a higher clock though.

and the UP5 is even better. It is all about how much you want to spend. If money is no issue, UP7 or the highway. If you have a limited budget, UD3H is hard to beat. UD and UP is hard to beat no matter the budget.
Asus has some nice boards, but the price is kind of high.
Also take into account, that under the Extreme 6, don't touch ASrock. They claim a lot that they flat can not deliver on.

To be honest I'd only bother with ASUS and Gigabyte and maybe MSI, but ASUS and Gigabyte over them.
The P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 is a really nice board and should work straight out of the box with a 2550K. You may need to update the BIOS before you can use your 2550K if you're going to get a Z77 board.

How would I update the BIOS without a CPU in it? I don't have access to the new Intel CPU to update the BIOS. I heard that some Mobo's lets you in the BIOS without a CPU in it, and just update through USB, is that correct?
