I like the Z77-MX best, although it does go a few dollars above your price point, it seems the best overall value.

though i doubt there is a difference with micro.

yeah, it is like that. maybe look at the cheapest board and think, "is this going to be good enough?" if not go to the next least expensive board and wash, rinse, repeat.

Cheers all, i think i'm going to go with the asus P8Z77-M Pro, i've heard asus are one of the best makes, like the heat sinks, the auto bios oc, and it feels right, unless you guys know of any problems?

 

[jonboy79]

well i've got it down to the P8Z77-M Pro or the Extreme4-m???
