My Intel 2 quad core q6600 board is finally failing. I am considering upgrading instead of replacing the mobo.

Currently what I'm thinking of purchasing:
I5 4670k
Hyper 212 Evo.
2x4 or 2x8 ram.

Currently have that I'll be putting in:
LG WH14NS40 14X Blu-Ray Writer BD-R SATA
7WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5in
GTS 250 (I'll purchase a new one later down the road)


Just can't decide on the mobo.

This is what I'm looking at:

ASRock Z87 Extreme6
ASUS Z87-A ATX SLI
ASUS Z87-PRO ATX SLI
ASUS Sabertooth Z87 Motherboard

any input much appreciated!

asrock has a good repution for solind (not quite as good as asus but still plenty good) at a resonable price
however since your clearly the type who had crap tons of drives you could always get a asrock extreme 11 (because you never know when you will get the urge to put 22 ssds in raid 0)

Sabertooth is $10 more than Z-87A, $90 more than the Z87-Pro and $20 less than ASROCK. Seems like its not that much more. Is there much difference between the boards?

my other option is a Z87 Extreme4
