Hello everyone I need some help I have all of these parts sitting on my desk

i7 3770k

CPU cooler h100i
Storm trooper case

Mother board: Need one!!

2x 8gb = 16GB of corsair Vengeance 1600mhz ram
1x sand dick sdd
2 x GTX 660 ti 3GB FTW in sli
2 TB seagate hard drive 7200rpm
HX 850watt pro psu 80 plus gold



Im unsure of which boards to choose .. I want one of these:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128583&Tpk=GA-Z77X-UD4H&IsVirtualParent=1

but my gut is telling me to buy m power because i wanted that in the very first place until i saw GIGABYTE



They both have similar features..i have a old msi board that has been working for 4 years with no issues that's also why i like msi ..


" Am I going to be losing anything of i choose M power for my build!?!?"


Please kindly and freely express your opinions so that I can feel confidence in making my purchase ..thank you :)

#Just a newbie, don't trust me 100%#
Actually the two board will not have too much difference, just choose the cheaper one, plus the gigabyte known for their reliability, but if you don't mind spending more money or eager on saving more electricity,msi z77 Mpower will be the board, this board itself allow you overclock your cpu more even at low vcore.

and power consumption of UD4H will between UD3H and UD5H.
