Mobo recommendations?

[OWS_Tonx]

So I've been trying to get my new build going but twice I've gotten a faulty mobo from newegg of the same model, so I want to just get a different, better one.

The one I got that keeps having issues is:

P67-C43

I was talking a friends earlier who recommended I get this:

http://www.amazon.com/SABERTOOTH-P67.../dp/B004K330KK

I just want to make sure it will work with everything I have and if there is a better option for what I'm running?

The specs I have are:

Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout

CPU: i5 2500k
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-072-_-Product

After Market Cooler: Tuniq CR-T120
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-014-_-Product

GPU: GTX 470

RAM: Mushkin 4GB( 2x2)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-190-_-Product

PSU: XFX 650W

As always, thanks in advance.

Get the P8P67 standard or pro model, you don't need the fluff that comes with the Sabertooth model. It'll save you 50 bucks or so.

I recently built a computer (twin pcs actually) with a 2500k and this mobo:

Absolutely loving it, and Virtu in GPU-D mode is pretty nice stuff. Have my 2500k at 4.5gHz (light I know, but I'm a newbie at OCing) on stock voltage w/ air in an antec 300 illusion with an acfz13-pro cooler.Haven't bothered to try GPU-I mode, but it seems decent enough. Inb4 z68 isn't worth it for this or that reason.

Btw, all of your links are broken, for me at least.

Don't get a sabertooth its not as functional as they make it seem.

I would ditch P67 all together and get a Z68 chipset board.

Any midrange $150-190 Asus, AsRock, GIGABYTE(my fav) will do the trick and it will probably last you a long time granted you get good parts.

Or just stick with P67 and get a midrange board that suits your needs. Its all really a crapshoot whether you get a bard part or not.
