Hey guys,
I want to change my PC tower to a Corsair Air 240, however it has USB 3.0 ports, and my current motherboard does not have 3.0 headers.
This means I will have to get a new motherboard to utilize these. I've used PCPP to look for motherboards, however they're all unavailable in my country, or they're from a brand I've never heard of (BioStar, Foxconn).
The motherboard needs to:
have the right chipset for my CPU (I7 2600 (NOT K!))
Must fit inside a Corsair Air 240
Must have enough slots to plug fan into (idk the name for these ports :I)
have USB 3.0 headers
I already have a complete build now, but want to switch cases and my old mobo wont work in said case.
Also, budget shouldn't be an issue, but the lower the better.
Other specs:
8gb ram,
Gigabyte HD7950 WindForce 3 OC,
i7 2600,
current mobo: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8H67-M LX (LGA1155)
And this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gab75md3h is the motherboard I was very interested in, but it's unavailable everywhere!
I am a complete newbie when it comes to motherboards, so all help is GREATLY appreciated, since this is preventing me from getting a decent pc tower (the one I have now is causing pretty much everything to slowly overheat).
(Oh, and I didn't use the format because I'm not doing a complete build, I only need a new mobo!)
