If i have an i5 3570 and a gtx 760 is the Asus P8H77-M motherboard ok for gaming? What other advantages does the P8Z77-V LK have apart from overclockability and multi-gpu support?

Thanks

The really big difference is the Asus P8H77-M only has one PCI Express 2.0 @x4. You are looking at a potential bottleneck point right there. And I'd go with the i5 3570K instead of the i5 3570. It's more overclockable and only $5.00 more. Go with the Z77 board and you be in a better position for future upgrades and it's only $30.00 or so dollars more but worth it.

If you already have the 3570 then the M will more than suffice, your GPU will occupy the PCI-E 3 slot running at 2.0x16, which you'll never notice, have no idea what tinmann is talking about with PCI-E 2 @X4 being a bottleneck, the one slot, will be covered by your GPU
