Is dh67cl intel motherboard good for gaming? if i don't want to overclock or put multiple graphic card?

That's a really really old board.
Motherboards don't effect gaming performance, so you can literally get the cheapest one possible.

Yes, but they can help you "boost" the performance by having SSD slots or accept a specific graphics card/CPU over the over.
I heard a cheap and great one is the MSI H81M for 68$.
AvoK95
Any LGA 1155 or newer motherboard can run any graphics card. SSD's don't effect gaming performance.
I'll give you the one on CPU's, but that's a few FPS difference. (Max 5)

Motherboards do affect frame rates but the difference is very small, less than 1 FPS.

So it doesnt matter which vga i use it should work? I cannot afford a new board and i want to get gtx 760 would it work with any graphic card?

Provided your CPU doesn't bottleneck the card it will work with any GPU.

Iam using core i7 3770 3.4 ghz.

A 3770 will not bottleneck SLI GTX 970s.

Wait for the 960 it should release soon. After release ship the 760 from abroad it will probably be much cheaper.
AvoK95
It'll work fine, but as geekev said, wait for the 960.
Also, what's your power supply?

I got gigabyte 750 watt i know its not a quality one but it should be fine i guess. Just one more question would the gtx 760 last at least 2 years? Like can i play latest games on high to medium settings?
AvoK95
PSU is fine, and yes, it'll last. But wait a month and get a 960. It'll be much faster

Im sure it wont be available in lebanon for a long time and it wont be under 500$ for sure and i still cannot afford that.

It will, and it won't be. How come the 760 isn't $500? or ever was? You can't predict prices like that. Wait and see how much it will be. Chances are it will be slightly more expensive than the 760, or maybe the same or even cheaper. Who know? The 760 might go cheaper as well.

Pcandparts did a raedon stock clear for some reason and the cards were going for dirt cheap. I expect the same with the nvidia cards now as they stock the new models. The models released this time are cheaper than usual for some reason.

It's bad because it does not support the latest fourth generation cpus(technically the latest would be fifth generation but they are not on sale yet I think) And you would want to get the fourth gen cpu because they would be faster and cheaper. A 3.0 4th gen would for example be faster than a 3.2 third gen cpu(rough estimate)
That said, where is that board on sale? I want it. I already am stuck with a third generation computer with a super crappy motherbaord, this one is 2 steps higher)
AvoK95
That board should not be bought no matter what CPU or setup you're running. It's really old. You have better and cheaper options.
He already has the CPU.
And a 4th gen vs 3rd gen or no matter what gen doesn't mean it's faster. A 2600 and a 3770 have a difference of nano-meter size. Yes it might be very very slightly faster, but it's more expensive, and a 2600 can always beat a 3770 even if the core clock is 3.1GHz vs 3.0. If it's newer than a 2500/2600, then it should be fine. Ofc latest gen is always preferred. But that doesn't make the old ones "bad". The board is bad because Intel boards are mostly generic, with almost no features and average build quality for a high price. You have much better options for much cheaper. This board doesn't even support PCIE 3.0, whereas a $48 H61 AsRock board does. The H67 chipset is really really old. It should never be bough anymore.

What board do you consider? like i said i cannot afford a lot and what case also im looking for a good looking cheap case any ideas?
AvoK95
Get the cheapest board if you don't was RAID, 4 slot dual channel memory and more than 4 SATA ports (Which most people don't)
Go with a Cougar Spike case.
If you can afford something better, get the Asus P8Z77-M.
