hey need advice on buying a new mobo
current specs are
processor : intel i5 (2400)
mobo : intel dh67vr
gpu: Asus 660ti dc2t
psu : seasonic 620w
hdd : 500gb , planning to get wd blue 1tb

Selling current mobo coz the card is giving problems with this mobo, rest all cards are working good just my card seems to have problem , got it 3 days ago from RMA (good thing got processor and board both from RMA:))

Will sell this mobo, so want know which mobo should i go for
the new mobo should have usb 3.0 atleast 2
then 2 slots of pci*16
and integrated graphics and 4 ram slots.
and keep in budget guys, i don't do overclocking so no need of those high end fancy overclocking boards
 
yeah thinking about it in future ;) just keeping my option open to multi gpu setup , if it single then too no problem but will be happy if it has 2 ;)
selling my current for 5k so i can put extra 5k i guess , so a total of 10k.

I'll go with P8H77-V mainly because it's a full ATX mobo.

Thanks for the reply,
yes the intel board. Sounds strange to me because I read its tech specs and it looks fine. Only thing that can cause a problem is the PCI slot not proper or not giving enough power.
Are you sure you are using the correct PCI 16x slot? Am sure you are but still :). Do one thing if possible. Try and get another high power consumption gpu and check it.
If even that has problem, surely pci - e slot problem. Some connections have gone kaput.
I think you should RMA this board, I feel that will solve the issue. No use wasting money on getting another board.
If you are sure on sli, then its another matter. But if you only intend one card, I feel you should give rma a try.
 
slot is proper as its got only single slot of pci*16 and none of my frnd got higher card than 660ti so i cannot test it , but as for power issue i did tried other psu of 750w corsair as mine is seasonic 620w.
did everything from a month contacted intel and asus, As said i have done RMA of PROCESSOR AND MOBO both and got both new sealed packs , i even thought they gave me same mobo with packing so rechecked it with serial number.
but still after RMA the issue is not solved :( and now i dont think I can do RMA again.
As the mobo can run other gpu's ( for example i tried these : 610 , 630 and 650 and a radeon)
 
Sry did not read you already rma.
Was not talking of PSU, was talking of the electrical connectors in the pci-e slots. But if a 650 runs on it then am not sure if they are problematic.

This is very strange.
 
the RMA was sealed so i dont think there should be any problem thats why i'm confused from a month..
Read on few forums that sometimes few mobo doesnt detect a specific card and there is no solution to them.
so pls help me in buying new mobo suggest any from above listed
 
Gigabyte G1. SNIPER M3 Z77 , is availble on prime at 12k but it is micro Atx and got few doubts about it
like the sound chip is not relatek so is the other good and does it support intel turbo boost , i can buy it at 12k but is it best among other ??

It is absolutely the best. It does not have realtek chip, but has a creative audio chip which is much much much much better than the realtek chip.
The chip on Asus maximus V gene is also realtek but uses creative audio software simulation, but this motherboard has onboard creative audio chip.
The sound is too good and much better than you would even find on much more expensive boards. It has intel nic, which is also good. Many other boards have diff ethernet controllers, but intel nic are the great.
In US this board was at the same price as asus v gene, but here it is priced properly lower than the gene. The only huge difference was this board was a moderate overclocker compared to the hardcore overclocking gene.
But you are not going to overclock, so the value of gene is useless here.

Micro atx I Cannot comment on it, its your personal choice. Sli also you need to read on this mobo as its micro atx. I can do sli but it is micro atx. lil space problems will be there
If I was in your place and willing to spend 12k on a mobo, i would close my eyes and go for this board.
