Motherboard upgrade, NOCTUA NH-D14 + cpu socket

[vaMpPpPp]

Hi.

I'm looking for a decent but rather inexpensive motherboard to fit my NOCTUA NH-D14 cooler (w/o 2011 mount) and the i5-2500K CPU (LGA1155 socket)

Any advice? Would be greatly appreciated!

That cooler will fit any socket its listed for...mobo doesnt matter really.

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 is a solid budget choice so long as you are not pushing hard on overclocking (read around 4.8GHz+) for a daily driver. If you want more, than I would go Extreme 6 instead of 4.

Alright thanks alot.

I'm going with the i5-3570K ivy bridge instead though. Same price, better overall
