I have narrowed down the choices and left me with these:
Asus P8Z77-V LK
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
MSI Z77A-G45
Asus is too pricey so it comes last in my priority
ASRock E4 has build issues, like bottleneck on SATA controllers, and low quality MOSFETs
I'm left with Gigabyte and MSI
Are these two boards any good? Or am i wrong about ASRock and Asus?
This rig will be used for gaming, no overclocking, i want it to be futureproof, reliable, and solid. I just want to get the best value for my money.
If it helps in any way, here are the rest of the components for this build.
CPU : Intel i5 3470
RAM : G.Skill RipJaws 2x4GB 1800
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
PSU: Antec HCG 620M
CPU Cooler : Hyper 212 EVO
GPU : Palit GTX 650 ti Boost GDDR5
Chassis : Thermaltake Armor A90
