Hello ;D
I'm looking to build a computer for the first time :o
I am going to use NZXT Phantom for the computer case.
For CPU, I'll be using intel core i7 2600k.
I heard there is a specification of motherboard for CPU, so I went looking around, but I found nothing, but ASUS P8P67 :(
Can you recommend any other motherboard please?
Thank you:)

Oh and is there any NZXT Phantom user?
Is it good? like air flows?

depends on the i7, an i7 8/900 takes 1156, an i7 2600 or 2600k takes 1155, same basic thing for all the other i's, 3#'s is 56, 4 is 55
 
the easiest solution is to check newegg and searck lga1155, then in the top right of the list there will be a sort option, put that to best rating and look for one you'd be willing to spend the money on, but really they're all fine, somepeople are used to the super priced boards and pick up a cheapy to see and just complain and don't get that you're paying min so you can get something that works, but read the revs., and newegg's replacement service if it arrives broken is supposed to be really good, luckily i don't know, but i've only gotten 2 things, but from those my experience has been good, except a better version of something i bout went on sale for cheaper like 2 days after i got it, and a couple days later they send you a ton of coupons that last for 72hours.
 
look that case up on newegg, but i know it will have atx layout for screws and should also have micro atx since they are the 2 most common, even my 50 buck case has both
 
id grab something in the z series, since they offer the best of the h and p series boards, as well as SRT technology, look it up, might be interested in that. and gigabyte and asus would be vendors id look at, their quite nice quality wise.
