Hi. Im getting a 7950 sapphire vapor-x graphics card. And getting a 3570k i5 processor. A cooler master HAF 912 series cabinet. Right now im quite unsure which motherboard to go for

Im looking at Asus. So can anyone suggest a decent motherboard that doesnt bottleneck the gpu or the cpu.

Also Im planning to overclock both gpu and the cpu. So a mid range motherboard suggestion would be excellent

Thanks in advance :D

I really would go for the Z77 Extreme4 if you are on a budget, the 75MLX was not exactly designed for the 3570K, nor can it overclock.

These should work fine, what are your full specs? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819

my full rig is

Processor: i5 3570k
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid tower Transparent
GPU: Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X 3 GB
RAM: 8 GB Transcend DDR3
HDD: 1TB Seagate SATA Hard Disk Drive
MOBO: "Asus 75MLX Mother board"
PSU: Corsair 650 watts

The motherboard that i have given in the lis is what i think i can get. But i dont know if it will bottleneck the performance of my cpu and gpu when i overclock it. Thats why i want to look into other options for motherboard. If the 75 MLX wont affect the performance of processor and gpu then i will get that one.

Hope this helps :)
 


Go for the P8Z77-V\PRO or Asrock Z77 Extreme 6\4
