I'm looking for components to build myself new PC based on the Intel 2600K processor. Usage will be for games, video editing/encoding/conversion, software compilations and the common Microsoft Office + Internet. It's been many years since when I built myself a PC.
Can anyone please advise, what should I be looking for when choosing a motherboard? Last time I bought one, one of the things I had to look at was the frontside bus speed for example, but I don't see that in today's mobos.
I've been looking at this particular motherboard: Asus P8Z68 Deluxe (details are at: http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z68_DELUXE/ ). Is this a good one for me to go for, or is there anything missing on this board that I can find on others? Are there alternative mobos I should consider?
Thanks.
