Well, I need some recommendations at the moment.

I already have the i7 4770k 3.5ghz and now I'll be buying a Mobo! (I'm sorry, Im just building my pc a bit by bit)

So anyway, What MOBO should I buy? Gigabyte/MSI or Asus? Which one would be good? and Which Model? Well, I'm mainly building a Gaming PC!

Have Gtx 770!

ASUS Maximus VI HERO <3

Defently one of the best Z87's out there. Have it myself on a overclocked i5-4670K.

And it also looks pretty sexy with that black/red theme :)

If you want something cheaper then go for the MSI Z87-G45 it's also a good mobo.

I have an i7-4770k as well, and while I haven't run any of the other boards in my system, my ASUS boards have been great. I was originally running a Z87-A, but decided I wanted something a bit more high end, so I upgraded to the Z87-Pro, however I'm going to be upgrading again to a Maximus VI Formula soon. If the gold/black color scheme is too much for you (I'm not a fan of it much honestly but to each their own), the Maximus VI Hero is a fine board as well, for the same price point as the Z87-Pro. I've been very, very happy with my ASUS boards, and I'm sure MSI/Gigabyte are great, too. It really just depends on what color scheme and/or features you want.

Edit: NiCom beat me to it haha. ASUS' ROG line is very very good.

Asus Rog series has been regarded as the best to provide support for the Haswell series of Intel processors, especially in the terms of overclocking or processors with unlocked multipliers and gaming level. You wouldn't see any better enhanced stable overclocking motherboard better than Asus. Depending on the budget and features included in the motherboards you can take a look at below listed motherboards.
-ASUS Maximus VI Hero
-ASUS Maximus VI Gene
-ASUS Maximus VI Formula
-ASUS Maximus VI Extreme

I agree with the ASUS motherboards, i'm a huge ASUS fan. But ill also bring the MSI GD-65 into the light here.

Excellent mobo, its what i use and it supports overclocking quite well. Has a small debug display on it along with a direct boot to BIOS button which does as it says (Not sure about the ASUS but it has a UEFI BIOS) it also has a overclock switch which you can change of values of in the BIOS. Oh and i'm not sure what the proper term is but it has 2 BIOS's with a switch to toggle between them, if one becomes corrupt basically you have a backup. It has pretty good heat dispersion as well.

Yes you should go for the VI Hero! It's a board that's worth getting in a high-end single OR dual gpu setup.

And Whitestorm, I would say it's defently also a good mobo the MSI Z87-GD65, though it's beaten by the HERO. ;)

The MSI board's little brother though, the MSI Z87-G45 is an amazing board is you want something cheaper than the HERO.
