Hi, I know this will be a stupid question but do only particular new motherboards support the upcoming PCIe version (3.0 and are they on all the more modern chipsets (i.e. Z68, X79) or just a particular one? I can't seem to find a source with all of this type of information in one place.
Also is there any particular rule for matching the prices of CPU's and Motherboards i.e. roughly the same price for both so the motherboard doesn't hamper the CPU?
Also if anyone could suggest a good Z68 Motherboard for around 230 GBP I will be very grateful, there are so many to choose from and I can't differentiate between many of them.
If anyone could help me I will be forever indebted to you
N.B. I will be using the system for mainly gaming.
