Hi, i just wanted to ask about any recommendations on motherboards. I am building a mid to high end gaming PC it will have the Intel I7 3770K CPU and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3x OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card GV-N770OC-4GD and Kingston HyperX Predator 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-17066C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit with 3 SSD's and a 1 terabyte hard drive. I wondered if anyone could recommend a really good gaming motherboard which is good for over cloaking.

Thanks, Lawson.

ASUS V-PRO Z77 or something in that area is the easiest to OC. It has the UEFI BiOS and an OC utility you can use. Course you can do it the old fashioned way as well.

Okay, thank you. I was looking at the Asus Maximus V Extreme mobo, do you think that would be okay? And also i'm new to this so what is the old fashioned way haha?..

Thanks, Lawson.

I can go as high as needed on the motherboard so what ever is best and it will be for gaming and photo and video editing.

Thanks, Lawson.

The extreme is sorta well 'extreme' unless planning on like tri/quad SLI, I'd scale back some might look at the Asus Sabertooth or the Asus P8Z77 WS

As mentioned, primarily the additional PCI-E slots for additional GPUs, additional USB and SATA ports
