I'm going to build a new PC, but I can't decide what mobo to buy. This is the motherboards I'm thinking of:

GA-Z77X-UD3H
GA-Z77X-UD5H

It's a gaming computer with i7-3770k and 2x gtx 680 sli

If you are going with that much power then I'd suggest a UD5H. I have the same and it works really nice and is made for those who like to OC their stuff. You can use the UD3H but I think, imo, that the Z77X-UD5H is the way to go for you. Cheers!

I have had nothing but problems with that brand and do not recommend. This is a great board that I recommend. It is also Toms Hardware approved. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

GA-Z77X-UD3H I had this board for about three days. It was three days of troubleshooting that never resolved my memory problem. I finely contacted tech support and they told me that the MB has an undocumented and previously unknown issue and is incapable of using the onboard RAID and a add in RAID card. They could never resolve the memory issue. But both work with no problem on the AsRock board that I have now. I am not sure how much faith I can put in a company that designs a board then after the fact discovers that “it does not work as planned because they did not design it with enough shadow memory”. Their words not mine. Some of the finest boards? Not to sure about that.
