hello guys im building new pc for the first time and and i wanna know what mobo should i get for this build

Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz

power supply Corsair Professional Series HX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold

gpu gtx 770 windforce 2gb or 4 didnt pick yet

ram Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz

cpu cooler Corsair Hydro H100
or
Antec Kuhler H2O 920 Liquid

case vengeance c70

i was thinking to get Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 AMD CrossFireX/NVIDIA

but i dont plan on using more than 1 gpus so i dont wanna waste 200 bucks on it

i was also thinking to get this one
ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
would be nice to know if its compatible with the other parts and also
is the good enough for gtx 770 or should i get better one

its actually a good mobo. i don't see why any parts would be incompatible with it or why GTX 770 will be bottleneck'ed by it. GPU gets bottleneck'ed by CPU's ram etc not mobo.

I would step up just a little on the mobo. If you like Asus, step up to the LK model over the LX. It's only about $10 more and a combo deal (HERE) is available from Newegg that includes the 3570K. Another alternative is the ASRock Extreme 4 (HERE) that is $15 less than the Asus LK. Both of these boards overclock well and both have good vrms to support the o/c.
