gonna need more cheese...australia has a lot of crackers
Oh hey, a motherboard thread! I'm griping over motherboards right now.

So I have a lovely cheap low end board (Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H) and I'm looking to overclock my i5 3570k and my board has no overclocking capabilities beyond increasing BCLK which of course fucks up all sorts of poo poo. I wanna take advantage of that unlocked multiplier.

Problem is, I have no idea what to get, and finding a board that I can buy is hard enough considering LGA1155 is pretty much phased out. I know the chipset I want is a Z77 but beyond that, no idea. I'm in Australia too so that restricts what I can get further. I'm just stuck at the moment. What should I do? Getting a new CPU and motherboard would be prohibitively expensive and I'd like to keep my current CPU rather than sell it (I like using old components to build HTPCs and stuff).
