Hey all,
I'm in the process of building my first PC however, I don't know what MOBO I should get. So far I've looked at AsRock extreme 3 and the MSI g43 Gaming but I don't know if this is overkill for my budget. All recommendations are appreciated.

The Build list so far includes

CPU: i3-4330
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws x 4Gb (2x2gb)
GPU: XFX Radeon 7870 or MSI GTX 760
PSU: Corsair CX 600
I'll probably end up with the Rosewill Challenger case

Note: I intend to use this PC for Gaming and have a budget of around $800 and will be upgrading it as time goes on.

I would go with an i5 instead because the i3 has only two cores which isnt very good for gaming. If you havent bought your Mobo yet I would also go with an AMD 4300. It is just as good as the i5 and it is a lot cheaper. otherwise it looks good.
