For video editing use - Asrock Pro3-M?

[newguy617]

I'm going for a i7-2600k build and am considering a Z68 for possible overclocking during those extra long transcoding sessions.

I don't need anything fancy like SLI/Crossfire, and the Pro3-M seems to have everything that I need. Full ATX motherboards provide many options that I just don't need. I would like to go down to a mATX case as well.

What are your thoughts? Thanks.

ASRock is a top-tier company right up there with ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI. I recommend them without reservation.

For video editing and none gamers, I think that Asrock Pro3-M is sufficient, no need to go for its bigger brother the Extreme4. Am I correct on this assumption?

Even for a gamer, it's still a pretty good board. As long as the gamer didn't need SLI/CF that is.

I personally don't like Micro-ATX boards due to my big ham-hands, but if you don't mind the small size, go for it. It's got all of the main features of the bigger boards.
