Asrock, Gigabyte or ASUS?

jackstack10 · Jun 12, 2013

I'm building a PC for a friend of mine, we've decided on a processor, but need a Mobo. Look thru the ASUS, Gigabyte and Asrock Motherboards for me and suggest one. I personally have an AsRock and it works well for me. He will buy any of them. http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/intel-processor-bundles.aspx It's the SECOND processor.

First of all, no 4770k; unless your friend is doing hardcore editing or something, it's not worth the money. Just get a 4670k. In terms of the motherboard, I suggest the Gigabyte UD3H; that is the UD4H, but it offers almost no benefits over the UD3H, which is cheaper.

Forgot to mention, it IS the 4670k.

I've built 3 computers with the Sabertooth line....Flawless

ASUS=BEST

It's my impression that Asus are offering more competitive pricing than during the past year with Z77 motherboards. So I might lean towards Asus. Not so much the Sabertooth - maybe the Asus Z87-A?

I've heard many bad things about the Sabertooth and it's iffy plastic accessories. I would not recommend it...

I agree.

That's funny when the same person agrees!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse me?

I would go with one of the Asus golden boards. I agree that the sabertooth boards for intel are silly with that worthless thermal armor. Look at the Asus Gryphon board, it is in the TUF series like the sabertooth boards, is microATX and has no silly thermal armor.

jackstack10 · Jun 12, 2013

Sabertooth is a bit expensive and not in the line that I posted...

Stick with a Gigabyte Z87X UD3H and you'll be good to go!

That's not in the group tho...the bundle is those 5 unless something changes in the future.

Guys, please click the link I included, it's between the middle 3 boards as of now, if something changes, I will buy one of your recommendations, but for now, it's between only those three. Thanks for the input!

Then get the UD4H.
