Hi folks!

I've been using my good old 2500k for a couple of years but I feel like it will last a few more since it stands up really great. However I would like to OC it a bit more and I'm stuck at 4.2 GHz with my current board (Asus p8z68 V-LE) which doesn't provide fine tuning options for voltage and advanced OC features.

So I've come up with some options and at the moment this one seems to be the most likely candidate:

Asrok Z77 Extreme4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293


What do you think?

Thank you in advance!

PS: Max budget is around $200

Totally agree. Currently I'm using a Gigabyte HD6850 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3614#ov) which is really not enough for my current needs so I was already decided to replace it with a GTX 770 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3F7CFK/ref=asc_df_B00D3F7CFK2567110?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=pgtvs-469-17-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395097&creativeASIN=B00D3F7CFK)

I was asking about the mobo since I wasn't really sure which one to choose. The GPU choice seems easier to me but if you guys have another suggestion I'm open to them (although we go off-topic :D)
