Okay, folks.
The SO's system is having some glitches that I believe are mainboard related. It's running a Core i5-2500 CPU, which is plenty for what she does, so I'm looking for a replacement board, but I'm a little picky as to the requirements.
Needs:
-Must be Micro ATX
-Must have a USB3 front panel header
-Needs to be Intel H77 or Z77 chipset (would consider Q77 as well, though I doubt many are out there), as I'd like SATA 6G for her SSD
-Needs to be a decent brand name (e.g., ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Intel)
-Finally, must include the I/O shield
I don't need anything at the level of an ASUS Maximus GENE or such, but I want a solid board that will last awhile (a good example would be an ASUS P8Z77-M, ASUS P8H77-M, Intel DH77EB, Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H, or MSI Z77MA-G45)
. If you have anything, let me know, and what you want for it.
