Question Should I get this ?

Hi, do I get this motherboard. Right now I have a Q9550 and a P35-DS3 board, and I would like something newer. I want to get an ASRocK Z77 Extreme4 board, with an i7-3770k, and G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 16 or maybe 32 GB 1600 MHz. My PSU is an MSI MAG A650BN, and my GPU is a GTX 970.

I had a Z77 Extreme4. It was a great board.

I had the same board and overclocked my 2500K to 5.0 with just 1.26 volts per BIOS it was n fishy to me.
After a while I was changing the cooler and the back of the board in the CPU area was discolored checked the volts and it was actually 1.38 but said 1.26 still in BIOS.
Edit If I remember the numbers right been a lot of years.

No clue if it was ever fixed with a update.

I ran my 3570k at 4.0 from the day I bought it, until the day it got replaced with a 6700k.

Damn so it is a good board? Good. Do any of you maybe know if I could perform a SLIC 2.1 BIOS mod for it or I would have to go on MDL forums and ask?

Is there maybe any Z77 motherboard that has an IDE port? I know the ASRocK Fatal1ty Z77 Professional has a slot but it is veeeery expensive. Is there like a list or known mobos with an IDE port that supports up to 2 IDE devicss?

Nevermind I can just buy an IDE PCI-E card off of AliExpress that even has some E-SATA ports and SATA2 ports
