Hey guys, so my rig is an Intel i7-3770, and a GTX 770, 8GB ram and SSD.

Im going to buy a motherboard and a cpu cooler.
I'm only thinking in Asrock caus i live in portugal and i cant get asus p8z77 v pro anymore.
I was thinking in ASROCK Z77 extreme 4(106 euros) + Corsair H40 or Corsair H55 CPU cooler (wich is better by the wayguys?)
Or ASROCK Z77 extreme 6 (130-140 euros) + a cpu air cooler from 20 to 40 euros.
I can also get the GIGABYTE GA Z77X UD3H for 140 euros, but its only online and i prefer getting my pc components in a local store.

Thanks for reading and i hope you can help ,me :)

PS: I know i have a non-k cpu and im choosing motherboards between Z modles, but thats what i want for the future (sli available, and also want to get my 3770 oced to 4.3GhZ, i can do that on a Z mobo i guess)

Go for the Gigabyte, and a cheap air cooler like the 212 EVO+. Cheap liquid coolers like those are prone to leak and their cooling performance is quite underwhelming.
Also, you can't overlock a non-k chip even if you have a Z chipset motherboard.

I already told that i prefer to buy pc components on a local store, if you tell me if extreme 4 is really that bad compared to the gigabyte, then i buy the gigabyte.
Even if the coolers are well installed they can have problems?
I think i can push to a maximum of 4.3, i have a friend of mine with i7 3770 and asus z77 saberthoot and he has 4.3 :)

Thankas again :)

Ok thanks guys, but i heard that the Extreme 4 is a little thiner so it can hung out in the case on the left side? should i be worried?
And between the Z77 E4 and Z77 E6, are the 24 euros more worth it?
And about the cooling should i go with CM HYPER 212 EVO or HYPER 212 plus? Evo is 39.95 euros and the plus is 35.95 euros.
Thanks again guys :)
