Where to buy Z77 Socket 1155 Motherboard?

grimm2005

Hi all,

So my motherboard gave up earlier this year after 4 years (or at least that's the conclusion I came to after extensive testing by myself and a friend with a similar rig) and I'm looking to replace it. I'm happy enough to get the same again or a similar board but the problem I'm having is finding a compatible board as most places don't seem to sell them anymore.

The board itself is a ASRock Z77 Extreme4, Sockel 1155, ATX and the processor Intel Core i5-3570K Box, LGA1155.

Does anyone know any European sites I can order from to get a replacement board? Bricks and mortar would do too but I know that's extremely unlikely. I've only been able to find compatible boards from American sites like Amazon.com and with shipping, exchange rate, customs etc, I'd obviously rather buy from somewhere more local.

Anyone got any ideas or should I just bite the bullet and purchase from the states?

Keep an eye on adverts and maybe even gumtree in the UK.

Gonna have to haggle a decent bit. Z77 motherboards are annoying to source

Edit: I can't believe one sold for €120 second hand

Yeah, it seems to be extremely thin pickings I found an ASRock Q77 for about €100 delivered but it's m-ATX and seems to have less features than my current one. The best I can find on my current one is around €200 altogether delivered from the states which is pretty ridiculous.

What's worse is one of the fans in my GPU is gone so I'm gonna have to get a new gfx card as well but I can hold out on that and use on-board for the time being as I'm not as big into gaming as I used to be.
