Intel DH55TC S1156 Motherboard with Core i5-750 CPU Fan

Intel makes your CPU. Why not have them make your motherboard, too? The BOXDH55TC is an LGA 1156 board supporting Intel Core i7, Core i5, Core i3 and Pentium series. You can add up to 16GB of DDR3 1333/1066 memory to support the operating system.

The motherboard is designed to support the advanced features that today's power users are looking for. It has an 8 channel audio system and 3 analog audio ports that support Intel High Definition Audio. It also has 12 USB and a Gigabit Ethernet port. The new Intel H55 chipset provides full support for Intel’s 32nm Clarkdale CPUs with an integrated HD GPU.

File sizes are getting larger, especially for audio and video, so we need more secure ways to manage our data. There are 6 SATA ports, so you can hook up plenty of drives. Since you have plenty of available connectors you can use one drive for the OS and software and have extra drives for data.
