Definitely go for the 670.

If you can get them, I'd suggest the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 or the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H. If it's between the two asus boards, I'd probably suggest the P8Z77-V LK, but the other two I mentioned are better value and features.

Stay away from CoolerMaster PSUs. The Corsair is good, but overkill. Anything in the 500W+ range from Antec, be-quiet, Corsair, PCP&C, SeaSonic, or XFX is good. Go for 750W+ if you intend to SLI in the future.

Also, 2x4GB is likely to be fine. Make sure it's DDR3-1600 CL9.

Yeah, Ivy and the new 28nm GPUs are really frugal.

ASRock had a bit of a bad reputation, but they've really upped their game in the last few years. They used to be part of Asus.

Personally I'd buy the Gigabyte board - they have a good reputation, and are both quite cheap and well featured.

I checked the price of both 3 boards there is not much difference price wise. Gigabyte is little costly than Asus.
Asus p8z77-v lk is cheaper than gigabyte z77 ud3h.
1 more questions why u didn't chose maximus V GENE it is ROG board specially designed for gaming . I think it is better than other boards, what u think about it?

While the ROG boards are techinaclly "better", I don't think they're worth the extra cost. Twice the price for usually under 5% performance increase (if you really OC them to the limits, and dealing with bclk to get the last few tens of megahertz)? I don't call that a good idea. The Gene board is microATX as well, meaning that any SLI/CF is likely to suffocate your GPUs.

Also, I was talking about the GA-Z77X-D3H, not the GA-Z77X-UD3H.

Yes u r right I will not buy ROG boards now bcs I don't want to oc.
I read mostly buy a best PSU bcs it is the main part which have to take care of ur whole system, so never compromise with PSU. I will go for best brand like corsair , cm, sesonic minimum 80+gold certified 600-650w. :)
GA-Z77X-D3H is also good & also GA-Z77X-UD3H is good too. But have these mobos better performance & long life than Asus p8z77-v lk?
When I buy my pc I can't upgrade it minimum in 3-4 years. That's reason I m talking about Asus again. :no:
Thank you

If you look up in the top right corner, there is a box with a red outline with every thread you've posted on. When someone posts a new answer, the name goes bold.

Cooler Master isn't a particularly good brand of PSU. Also, 500W+ is fine, and efficiency doesn't really matter that much.

As far as longevity goes, I doubt asus would work much longer than Gigabyte or ASRock.

If you don't plan to OC or CF/SLI, you can basically get the cheapest H77 or B75 board around (but stay within the main 3 brands). Also, drop the -3570K if not OCing.
