Whats a good motherboard for LGA 1155? I am hoping for USB 3.0 and Sata 3, but only really need Sata 3. Also, at least 4 USB slots in the back. Buget under 80 and under. This is for a 3570k.
for 3570K best i can think of without compromising quality is an Asrock Pro3 Z77

Best bang for the buck, if you want to spend less beware because you will not get stable overclocks, assuming you even want to overclock since you god the K version of the i5
I can vouch for the Pro3 Z77; I added it to my build a couple months ago and I have not regretted it since. ONE WARNING THOUGH; the RAM slots are INCREDIBLY close to where the CPU fan bolts in. If you've got an aftermarket cooler, chances are you'll never be able to fit 4 sticks into your mobo because the fan will extend over the first slot.
I believe the B75 Pro3 is good as well for slightly cheaper, it's in the build I'm going to order soon.
the Z75 is good, but it lacks smart response. if you have any intention of putting an SSD in your computer, you won't be able to with the Z75
Don't go Z75 if you want to overclock, if you don't want to overclock why are you getting K series
you will not get stable overclocks up on that bitch
