Hi,

I'm slowly but surely narrowing down my build. Im going to use a Intel Core i7-4770K and eventually use two gtx 780's (one for now).

I like the pro mobo because it has wifi and bluetooth. I would like to do a bit of over clocking and SLI in the future. Can anyone give me some details on these two boards because im having a hard time deciding which to get. Thanks a bunch!

Both are good mobos, and either will prob fit your needs, or just a few dollars up from the Pro is the Hero, that's what I ended up picking over the Sabertooth, can't say anything bad about it

I like the PRO as well. Sabertooth has the looks though and you are paying for those, they should overclock similarly.

Yea I saw that but I want to do amazon prime for that sweet free 2 day shipping and no taxes

The sabertooth has all that cooling stuff (so they say). just curious if anyone has one of these with a Intel Core i7-4770K and gtx 780 setup

Let us know what you decide 😉

As the only board on the market, over 90% of overclockers get by with out it.

I have the Asus Z77 Sabertooth board and can say I really like it. I no reason to upgrade to fourth gen any time soon so I have not used the Z87 Sabertooth but it should be a really great board.

I decided to go with the Sabertooth, it has a lot more features for the extra 30 bucks.... And it looks badass, lol

You'll be happy with it, have fun! Might want to close out the thread
