In march i am upgrading my 650Ti to a 780Ti.
I am going to upgrade my mobo also but i am stuck for which one would be best for:
intel i5 3570k
EVGA 780 Ti
please brethren, recommend me a sexual mobo within the budget of 150
also, should i buy the stock cooler or should i spend a lil bit more for the windforce ?

I have the 780ti reference model(stock)
and it does get a little on the hot side.
But if you have a small case with not the greatest airflow get the stock model,
if you have a roomy case with good airflow go with the msi twin frozr version

If your current board works fine then there is not a reason to upgrade it just because you are getting a new graphics card.

If you got a card with a aftermarket non-reference cooler on it then instead of it dumping the hot air outside of the case, it would get dumped inside the case so bear that in mind when making your choice.
