List Price: $ 140.40
Price:
Great “Bang for your buck” MOBO!!,
Everything I needed for my new build.
What this board DOES NOT have compared to the more expensive z68 ASUS boards.
– NO PCI 3.0
– NO USB 3.0 Headers (has 2 on board USB 3.0 in back)
– NO eSATA connectors on back
– less SATA 6Gb connectors
This board shines in the “bang for your buck” category. 3 types of on board video outputs is always a plus if you plan on using the integrated gpu on a Intel ix series cpu or if you want out of the box graphics and overclocking abilities and add a discreet GPU at a later date if you are on a budget for your build (that’s what I did.

|no IDE ports,
It works fine out of the box. completely plug n play but it has no Ide ports for old 2.5 and 3.5 drives. only Sata 3gb/s and 6gb/s but I love it anyway. It took all of 30 seconds to overclock my 2600k t0 4.4 ghz from 3.4 ghz.

|Excellent Deal!,
Ordered for overseas delivery and received the package in excellent condition – no DOA’s on this and on SSD’s, video card, memory, and a few other components/accessories.
After installing everything the system is a go at first boot using the hard drive from my old system. ‘Didn’t have to reinstall Win7 Pro from my old Gigabyte C2D setup, just the drivers. System is running smoothly for a week now with no signs of irregularities. My setup:
i3 2120 – from Amazon
Asus P8Z68-V LX – from Amazon
Kingston Hyper X DDR3 1600 – from Amazon
Sandisk 120GB SATA2 – from Amazon
1TB Seagate HDD 7200 – from my old system
500 PSU – from my old system
Thermaltake V3 – from local shop
This is an excellent setup for my twins’ gaming/graphics needs! Amazon’s prices are excellent and it would have cost me twice for the same components had I bought them from a local shop.
I’m now looking forward to upgrading my laptop, building an ivy bridge-based HTPC and graphics workstation, all with parts from Amazon.
