Hey everyone, I went to my local computer store and ordered parts for my new computer. One of these parts was an ASUS P8Z77-V PRO motherboard. A week later i went to pick the parts up and got home and realized they had given me a GIGABYTE X79-UP4 motherboard. Could anyone please tell me which motherboard is better? thanks
 
It depends on what cpu you picked or will pick, if it's a lga 1155 cpu, then get the asus P8Z77-V PRO, if it's a lga 2011 cpu(i7-3820,i7-3930k,i7-3960x/3970x, get the gigabyte x79.
If this is for gaming, and you didn't pick the cpu yet, i recommend the i5-3570k and the asus P8Z77-V PRO
