Hello,
Does anyone have an opinion on these 2 or 3 boards?
I was going to get the Pro3/Pro4 (whichever is cheaper, they are around the same price) with an i5-3350P.
However a deal came up with the GA-Z77-HD3 and an i5-3570 for about the same price or less. I realize the 3570 is only marginally better than the 3350P.
Based on this comparison (link), it doesn't seem like there are a lot of differences on paper. I lose a couple SATA 6Gb/s and USB 2.0 versus the Pro4, as well as some audio ports.
I don't plan on OC'ing, and my other components are a Crucial M4 and a 7870 or 7870 LE. So, barring any problems or reasons not to get the Gigabyte, it seems like a better deal than the Pro3/4 + 3350P.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
