The new motherboards are already out, the Z77 chipset. Get a Z77 chipset and you'll be set for Ivy.

Asus P8Z77 V-Pro S1155 Z77 4xDDR3 ATX


Good? ^

Asus has been getting bad hits on quality and customer service (your buying a Ferrari just to get home and find a pinto). Go for ASrock, Gigabyte, MSI, or EVGA.

ASRock Z68 Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 S1155 ATX 4xDDR3?

It's Z68, you probably want Z77, but it's still a good board, and Z68 will also work with Ivy Bridge (you'll likely have to update the BIOS before you put your Ivy CPU in though).

Getting scared about all this bad talk about Asus, just hope my board remains OK. I've been using Asus boards for a while now and not had any issues, so I hope I'm going to remain OK. :/

^ Money?

 

[Machin3]

Yeah good luck with asus. I just received an rma which took over a month. I don't think I'll ever go to them again. I have evga now and always had them and always will. Gigabyte is also solid along w/ ASRock. Just picked up a board for my dad.

Oooh Yes one last question! What will the price be? Do we know yet?

 

[jonnyp11]

well your in a different country and prices don't just convert thanks to gov taxes on imported things and the shipping and all that stuff.
