It won't handle 3770, that motherboard is for socket LGA1150, which supports the new "Haswell" CPUs, not the older "Ivy-Bridge" CPUs. If you do not have the CPU already, buy 4770 instead. And it will handle it very well. but i think you can not overclock so yeah. If you have already bought that CPU, you should look for a LGA1155 Socket motherboard.
