    Help finding a Motherboard

    I've been doing some research for a budget setup since my desktop bit the dust a while back and I want to upgrade it. I'm looking to run an i5 2500k and want to find a suitable MicroATX board to run it in. I'm certainly not the best when it comes to computers but I think I know a fair bit.

    I'm looking to use my current case, power supply, and video card. Currently I am running a 650w power supply and an invidia 98000gt, as I can upgrade my card later. I have been looking online but finding good info is hard, especially with every article being at least 2 years old it's beginning to make my head spin.

    Btw I plan on gaming and some OC, and my price range is up to 200 if it means getting a good board. looking for up to 16gb DDR3.

          Looks great, but I need a MicroATX.

              MSI or ASUS are my two favorites for builds, good pricing, wonderful product.

                I can't seem to find a good model. Everything on Newegg is like 75 bucks and is super budget.

                  You're not going to find a decent microATX 1155 for under $200. You should get a new case.

                    Maybe, but cases are kind of like aftermarket HU's. I want to make use of what I have. So what would you suggest over the 200 mark?

                    Edit: This seems to be my better option so far
