Help Choosing A Motherboard

[2legitoquit]

Hey guys,

I want to overclock my i5 2500k CPU. But sadly, I have an Intel H61 Chipset. So I am in the market for a new motherboard with OC Capabilities. My budget is tight: (70 dollars is the max) and was thinking about these motherboards:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Evga-Z68-SL...161896270?pt=Motherboards&hash=item4ac6bda14e

P.S Please mind me for the idiotic question but what does it mean when the motherboard, "doesn't include accessories?"

I would be leery of buying a motherboard let alone an Intel motherboard from ebay. No accessories means just the board they even say on the page no i/o shield. I'm going to look around and see what I can find chances are you will be able to get a better deal on a Z77 motherboard, any chance you have a Micro Center or Frys around there?

I have a Micro Center not too far. Thanks for the help

I would make a trip to Micro Center they should have a few new and open box boards that that will fit in your budget. If you get a open box board check the socket before you buy it.
