I'm confused between Asus sabertooth z87 and msi x power z87 motherboards. I really have no idea which one have to choose. I'm only going to gaming nothing else. And yes I'm planning to buy these sets of hardware with the motherboard
Cpu - Intel 4770k / Memory - Corsair 32gb 2600 Mhz RAM / Storage - Corsair 240GB SSD& 3 TB Seagate / Graphics card - MSI Nvidia gtx 770 (please suggest me any AMD card with same price tag since they delivers better value for the money) I already have a 2k flat screen in my room so I want to utilize it.
Please let me know if any of these hardwares isn't compatible with the rests. I'll order as soon as you guys confirms.
Thanks for support.

Good build but it is not perfect for gaming. what about the gcard? Why are you compromising with this? Since you are going to gaming on a 2k you need a very good card. With a i7, costly mobo, very fast RAM and SSDs you'll not get any massive performance increase in games.

Neither sabertooth nor m power you mentioned . Go with this one.- http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16813131979 . Asus z87 pro is a tomshardware smart buy and anandtech editor's choice award winning mobo. And main thing is its cheaper and delivers more or less same performance.

I'll suggest you to buy i5 4670k. Difference? i7 has Hyper threading technology which makes it costlier and which is useless in gaming, it's proven that sometimes HT...

Oh ok :)
Honestly, the Sabertooth is overpriced, and I don't really like the M Power
I'd pick the Asus Z87-Pro, which is cheaper than the M Power.
But the M Power is at a good price right now, so if you really want to choose between the M Power and the Sabertooth, I say go for the M Power, but keep in mind that the Z87-Pro is a much better choice
Also, you don't need 32gb of RAM if you're only going to game. Even 16 is overkill, but anyways, get 16gb and buy a 780 with the money you saved from the RAM

I'll suggest you to buy i5 4670k. Difference? i7 has Hyper threading technology which makes it costlier and which is useless in gaming, it's proven that sometimes HT also hinders gaming performance. Now the RAM again for gaming 32gigs are useless go with 16gigs. Even it's more than enough you need.

Now from the saved money you can easily choose R9 - 290x it's specially designed to handle 2k and 4k resolutions and it's far better than 770 in high resolutions.

Good luck!!
