how much to pay for motherboard?

[EXONRANGER]

hey there im currently putting together a [what i'd consider] mid-range gaming computer but im looking to save as much money as possible.

ill be having 8gb ram and most likely a i5 3470 and a 650 ti for graphics.

the question is how much should i spend on a motherboard? i dont intend on overclocking or having multiple graphics cards so im guessing ill be perfect fine gaming on a cheap mobo.


i was originally intending on getting this "Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3" so is it worth saving the cash and just getting something like this "Gigabyte H77M-D3H"?

thanks in advance
