YUP, nothing will beat ASUS quality and the RANGER seems great for the price range it stands at. Gigabyte is pretty good as a motherboard-maker but as for the features on the RANGER, you just cannot skip it. You get better sound, better overclocking capabilities and all but as I can see your build is pretty high-end, why not spend a bit more and get the HERO? It is MUCH better for overclocking and has a bunch of more extra features. The Ranger is actually mentioned as an "entry-level" board so get the Maximus VII Hero for the best experience. It is reliable, good-looking and just beats almost every other motherboard on the market. Trust me.

The Ranger is a great board it's one step below the HERO it's not available in America.

Great board for the price.

I can't tell you anything about the Gigabyte mb but I put together a new system 3 days ago with the AMV11Ranger and it would not post or display anything. I then took it to a local long time in business repair shot and they told me that the cpu pins are bent. and they could not un-bend them..I then called the place that I bought it from and they told me not to send it back and they would refund all my money. Now I have to decide on another mb for all the parts I bought for it. it's too bad that i now have to put ASUS on my S-List
