Personally, I have the GD65 from MSI for their new Z87 chipset and I love mine. But also I find an issue with buying 3rd gens right now unless they are 100 off of the 4670k price. I hate buying backwards in technology.


I prefer the ASrock over the other 2 though. Their extreme series is pretty good in my opinion.

If you are building a gaming PC, why don't you grab a better GPU? :o le a 760 or 7970 or something?

ASROCK Z77 EXTREME4 would be an excellent choice. Also your GPU is pretty weak for a gaming build. Go for at least GTX760 or Radeon HD 7950 that would balance the overall system for gaming purposes. Rest of the build is good....

My choice would be the Asus, followed closely by the ASRock. I've used both brands and both have been trouble free. I currently use ASUS in both of my rigs and have never had a problem.

If you can budget a little more for the gpu, I'd step up to the 650ti BOOST or a 660. Also, if it were me, I would NOT buy memory with heat spreaders - they serve no purpose and may interfere with your cpu cooler (I recommend the 212 EVO over the thermaltake).
