Hello All,

Hopefully you all can help...

I am a little overwhelmed in deciding on a motherboard. I have almost everything else decided, but I do not know what to do about the motherboard...

Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

Memory: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory

Here are the ones I have been looking at...

ASRock Z87 Extreme6 Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ XFast Technology, A-Style Home Cloud, Purity Sound 7.1 HD Audio, Dual Intel GbLAN, Display Port, 3x Gen3 PCIe x16, 1 PCIe x1 & 2 PCI

ASUS Z87-Pro Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ Wi-Fi GO!, Ai Charger+, 7.1 HD Audio, Intel GbLAN, 3 PCIe x16 (2 Gen3, 1 Gen2) & 4 PCIe x1

GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ Ultra Durable 5 Plus, OC Touch, On/Off Charger 2, 7.1 HD Audio, Intel GbLAN, 4x Gen3 PCIe x16, 1 PCIe x1 & 2 PCI

These are all within my budget, but I can not decide on the best one.

Please ask whatever you need to know and I can get you an answer.


Thanks,
Jim

I feel like I see the pro popping up a lot. Is it just due to popularity?

I only ask because there is a good deal on the ASRock one, but I have zero experience with this brand and what this specific version offers!

I primarily used ASRock on the 1155 socket (see my sig), but am finding Asus seems to have a better handle with the 1150 socket, may have mentioned am going w/ the Asus Hero for a 4770K build and plan a 4670K also but noy yet decided on actual mobo
