Hi guys,

I'm new here and hoping someone can help me. I am from the UK and looking at upgrading my computer to a gaming PC. I've had mixed opinions on the type of motherboard from the below to chose from.

Here is the spec of my new PC :

Intel Core i5 3550 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Gigabyte GTX 650 2GB GDDR5 VGA Dual DVI HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card
G.Skill 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory
Corsair 500W CX Builder 80 Plus Bronze PSU

I don't know whether to get :

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

or any of

Asus motherboard P8B75-M LE LGA1155 DDR3 mATX - £58
Asus motherboard P8B75-M LX LGA1155 DDR3 SATA 600 mATX - £46
Asus motherboard P8B75-M LGA1155 DDR3 mATX - £68

Please can someone advise and tell me which one would be best based on the above spec?

Thanks.
 
Thanks John. I did make a mistake on my original post, however. The actual graphics card I'm getting is the 650 ti. EVGA GTX 650 Ti SuperSuperClocked 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card.
 
I second that, get the Gigabyte. Avoid LE versions as they are usually cut down versions of a proper model, and if you don't have to take mATX, don't. You will simply have more "future-proof" board.
 
Of the boards you listed there, I too would take the Gigabyte. Has a Z77 chipset, the Asus boards you posted only had B75.
 
yeah, i was also going to mention the 3 asus boards having the B75 chipset. it does not support raid. besides, gigabyte would be the better any how. go with the z77 gigabyte
