Hi guys, Just wondering what boards you would recommend for an i7 2600K, preferably full ATX size. Thanks.

I was looking at the Asus P8Z68 V Pro/Gen3 when I was going to get a 2500k which is currently €121.53 w/ delivery on Amazon. If price wasn't an issue you could go for the Asus Maximus IV Extreme. Both overclock nicely.

Hi I've spotted an Asus Maximus Extreme second hand but it has the P67 chipset rather than the P68. Is there much of a difference performance wise?
Thanks.

Look for a z77 motherboard, p67 and z68 are older chipsets.
