Hello,
I have decided on almost every part of my system, the only things left for me is to decide on it the motherboard, and a case which depends on the motherboard.
Here is my system:
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid
Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
Storage: Intel 520 Series Cherryville 240GB SSD
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC w/ ACX Cooler x 2
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DX
Power Supply: Corsair 860W ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS DVD/CD Writer
OS: Microsoft Windows 8 Professional
The computer is going to be used as a media hub, overclocking, be accessed through an IPad, and primarily for gaming. The issue I am having is the decision on which motherboard to choose, money is not a concern in the choices but I do want to stick with one of these motherboards.
The choices:
Top 2: P8Z77-V DELUXE, MAXIMUS V FORMULA
P8Z77-V PRO
EVGA Z77 FTW
MAXIMUS V FORMULA/THUNDERFX
Any help in choosing a board would be appreciated. Also accepting recommendations on a case.
Thanks,
Charles
