1. don't need multiple GPU sockets (one socket will do)
2. must be ready for fast RAM DDR 3 2000+
3. must be PCIe 3.0
4. must have good ratings or feedback, specially regarding heat tolerance and power consumption.

i would suggest this. http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboards-Z77-OC-FORMULA/dp/B0090KIJFO/ref=sr_1_44?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1435302959&sr=1-44&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2057458011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A6323340011

i'm still trying to sell my Asrock Fatality Z68 Professional Gen 3 to get this board.

 

[Vahe Bro A]

but 300 is to much for that used. i would go for this http://www.amazon.com/LGA1155-CrossFireX-Motherboard-Z77-EXTREME4/dp/B007KTY4A6/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1435302909&sr=1-2&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2057458011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A6323340011 and get it new. this is a great board too

 

[Tatzkie Payladz]

what do they mean by this? (OC)???

Memory: 4X DDR3-2800+(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 DIMM Slots

 

[Vahe Bro A]

that means it supports the memory you are getting but you are going to need to go into bio's and set it as that speed. and about 90% of CPU's only support 1600 so when you go over 1600 it actually is an Over clock so OC means over clock.

I've never heard of ASRock to be realiable as MSI, ASUS or Intel. Can someone vouch for them? They are a good 60 quid cheaper than other manufacturers.
BTW: what is the difference between ASRock z77 extreme 3/4/6?
