Here is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/OToj

I already have an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 on there, but it £100 which is kind of stretching my budget. I've seen others for cheaper, such as the ASRock Z77 Pro4 and the Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H.

Would either of the latter be appropriate for my build, as I will be overclocking to the highest I can, or would I be better off spending the extra of the Extreme4?

Thanks :)

Oh right must have missed that.
One thing i would suggest if you are struggling with your budget it buying what you have there without the CPU cooler and just hold out for a couple of weeks before you buy it so you can get the best mobo while still having the same price. Also if you don't plan on overclocking you can just chuck out the 3570k and go with the 3570 which doesn't save much but is a good thing to do under a budget.

I dont know about your local sites but on my local sites the price difference between the ASROCK pro and extreme is extremely minimal ($10) and mainly the difference between them is with the extreme you can run 2 GFX cards in 8x 8x mode so they will run faster than the pro (which i think is worth it for the...

Firstly, what other components would be included in this build? And how far would you LIKE to overclock this build to get the best performance? how many graphics card would you need support for and would you overclock them? If i have this information i can probably give you a good answer to your question/.
