New socket 1155 motherboard

[freestyle_gus]

My Gigabyte H67N-usb3 seems to be faulty, so I'm looking to replace it.

I know it's quite an old board, it's not freely available anymore.

So I'm looking for an inexpensive 1155 board to work with my current processor and memory etc...

Any tips? Brand isn't important, it just needs to be relatively easy to setup.

Thanks!

Look at the Ivy Bridge Buyer's Guide (2013) to see which boards have been successfully used in
past years. Then search online at places like Ebay and Amazon to see what you can still find.

Here's one not in the 2013 Guide that has good potential:

The onboard audio will not work (VIA) but there are other USB audio solutions that work well.

Prices can go up a lot on these older models. Sometimes it's better to just get a newer CPU
and board (H97) because the cost isn't that much different between a used IB board and a
newer unused Haswell one. Right now there are a lot of great deals on Haswell refresh hardware.

P8H67-I Pro or P8Z77-I Deluxe would either one work, or the GA-H61N board also would work.
