Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H ATX Motherboard LGA1155 Core i3/i5/i7 D-Sub/DVI-D USB3 HDMI -- to replace my ageing MSI P67A-GD55(B3) board. I will gain PCIe 3.0 and CrossFireX support (not that I use it). I will also gain native sleep/wake support (finally!!!). I was going to update with my 3450, but that is nowhere near my 2600k, so might stick with that for a while longer.
Looks like these are going from about $108->$150 on eBay.
I need it to be large enough to not let my full-length GTX 670 get in the way. I will also have to disassemble/reassemble H60i cooler/backplate :-(
It looks like it will be my last big purchase before a complete overhaul. I cannot remember who made my case, but the USB3.0 cables BARELY reach the bottom of the motherboard (where the USB3.0 headers are). Bad Karma!
The 3450 will hopefully go in my MSI mobo with stock cooler, with 8GB of the RAM from the other machine (16GB is overkill for me). I have a lovely case for it to go in. Just need a power supply with more than 400W (my current maximum spare wattage PSU). It will need to run the old GTX660, which only needs ONE 6-pin power cable (not TWO like the 670)!!
Penciled in for the future.
