I am new to the pc building world and this is my 1st build, I am looking for a good mobo. I am going to be using a Intel i5-2500k cpu I was looking at this.

Well, I can tell you one thing: you shouldn't have any problems with the 2500k. It's one crazy CPU. For you mobo, I guess it partially depends on whether or not you plan on overclocking.

in the near future I do plan on overclocking but not right now, I know almost nothing about it yet.
