Recommend a budget mobo for intel i5 cpu

[jibo82]

Hi guys, please recommend me a budget mobo (R1000 range, max R1200) for an I5 cpu. It should be decent and a good quality make.

You can pick up an ASUS P7H55 Mobo for around R1200 (I sell it for R1250) -

Specs: ASUS P7H55-M/Usb3 all-in-one LGA1156 mb , with USB3.0+SATA 6Gb/s ; intel H55 chipset , 4x dual channel DDR3 2200(o.c) , 8 x s-ata ( 2x SATA6G + 6x SATA3G ) , on-board VGA ( when using CPU with intergrated GPU ) with dual -output ( HDMi + D-SUB / 1080p HDCP compliant ) , with HDMi AV output ( HD DVD , Blu-ray 1080p HDCP compliant ) + ALC887 7.1 audio with optical s/pdif out + gigabit lan ; 1x pci , 2 x pci-e (1x) , 1 x pci-e 2.0 (16x) - with EPU6 + express gate + Turbo key + Turbo-V+ - micro-atx - 1 x PS2 only for kb

Sybaritic sells it for pretty much the same price... Seeing as you are in Pretoria

thanks stroebs, I have been eyeing that one for a while. I don't plan on overclocking or playing games, so I don't see the need for the turbo functionality. Other than that I would like as many features as possible.

Any other recommendations?

Asus P7P55D LE @ PCint = R1297.

I know it is R97 over your budget, but I personally don't like the H55 chipset that much.

thanks for the recommendation, I can go a bit over R1200 if its worth it.
