Dear experts,

I've got a very short time to decide. The internet is full of comparisons between these 4 mobos; one of these wins an argument over one but loses to another;

1. Gigabyte GA-Z77x-UD3H
2. Asus P8Z77-V LK
3. MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming
4. ASRock Z77 Extreme4

What I'm looking for is a clear guidance as to which of the above is "THE" best value for me, as my first ever SLI board. My concern is only SLI and I'm not at all a fan of CPU OC'ing. So please direct your suggestions accordingly.

This Tom's Hardware comparison includes V LX, D3H and G45 (not V LK, UD3H and G45 Gaming)

Thanks very much.

Edit: Can someone please also guide me as to how to start a poll here?)

With the Z87 and Z97 Asus has far and away had the best mobos, back with the Z77s the Rocks Extreme 4 was the best, I initially got mine thinking I would later upgrade it to a ROG mobo, but never found a need the Rock handled (and still does) everything I threw at it, plus was prob the best OCing mobo I built on, and I built alot of Z77s from Asus the Rock and GB....my EX 4 is in sig and has been running since the release of the 3570K pretty much sitting at 4.7 the entire time, on occasion I've bumped it even higher for different projects

Man I'm so glad to see a response from one of the topmost two motherboard experts here (the other being SR-Blackbird). I've seen both of you recommending against going for MSI but are your opinions the same for Z77A-G45 Gaming too?

I've haven't had good experience with some Asus boards but V LK being my first SLI board and a bit higher-end than the previous ones, I included it too.

So apart from the feature-packed focus of Extreme4 (BTW I really like its Black-Golden look), but..

1. What do you say about the quality of the board itself? Is it true that it's so thin and light that it can flex and get damaged if the 24-pin connector is pressed hard?

2. Is its overall durability and components' quality not a concern to you when compared to UD3H and V LK (like thicker board and stuff)?


Thanks.

Ok that is great. I was really confused about its durability. Many people prefer UD3H and Asus for that alone.

How would compare the higher models of these boards, Extreme6 and UD5H, with each other as well as to their predecessors? Which one is a better choice plus do you think they're going to benefit me in terms of gaming performance or they just has (more) extra features with subjective relevance?
