Hey guys looking for a gaming board I was looking at the MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard I have a i7 3770k and 770gtx. Any help with a good decision is always appreciated. Thanks fellas.

I'd take a look at the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4, have over 30 builds on this mobo, basically all gaming and higher end business systems, (also what I use), Intel mobo s are rather staid and not designed (or set for OCing) and MSI, I won't touch, poor QC and support...If you don't like the Rock or their mobos, look to Asus or GB

UPDATE.. Well tradesman I got the Asrock in and all i can say is wow. Brought up the i7 to 4.8 no problem and the noctua is doing its job keeping it at or below 104 degrees F. I just want to say thank you for the help the gskill tridents are also amazing couldnt be happier. Thanks again.
