I'm interested in "upgrading" to a 3770k from my 2600k. While I understand the upgrade is very minor, it's more of an experiment. I'm going to attempt to delid it and run direct die under some AIO cooler.

This leaves me with a 2600k that could go in my secondary machine, if I had a motherboard. I'm looking for a Q/H67, Z68 or similar motherboard (no P series). RAID and integrated graphics must be supported, otherwise it's not what I'm looking for. I don't particularly care about overclocking features in this case, but if it shakes down that way I certainly won't complain.

I would prefer to buy both from the same user, as that would simplify things quite a bit. I'm not looking to spend a whole hell of a lot on this. Prices on eBay are insane for a chip this old, in my opinion. For both chip and board, somewhere between 100-150 shipped seems fair to me.
