Yea, actually the mobo has been given to rma 2-3 times...
And there is no motherboard available...
Brand new...lga 1366.
So I thought of buying a new one to avoid downtimes.
So any suggestions?
 
Okay, here are my suggestions:
i7 4470 (20000)
Asus H87 Pro (10000)

If you want something overclockable, get this:

i5 4570k (15000)
Asus Z87-K (12000)
CM Hyper 212 EVO (3000)
