Current setup is:
z87-a
4670k
Asus Gtx 770
16gb gskill ddr3 cl9 (but only using 8 atm due to failed ram slot)

Looking to replace this motherboard to make use of all my ram. Had the Asus z87-pro in mind as I am fairly comfortable with Asus products but I am having trouble finding any places locally that are carrying it. Considered the maximus vi formula but don't want to spend quite that much. Currently only seeing the Asus z87 gryphon or the formula in stores. Would prefer an atx to a matx

i am using the same CPU on my Asus Ranger VII Board and i have overclocked it till @4.4 i have not pushed my cpu more then that the
Asus Ranger VII is a good board see if you can find that one in your area

This only thing i hate is the PC parts we are buying today and every year comes new generation of board and CPu but after 2-3 years if we needed to buy the part for your systems not possible as they dont manufacture any more thats bad its what i think

Suppose if my CPU or board gets dead today then i have no choice to buy there replacement parts i have to get everything new

I have only ever had experience overclocking asus boards and am fairly new to it. Had the ez mode on in bios and did asus optimal to achieve the 4.2ghz will it be fairly easy to do the same with the asrock?

So I am considering increasing the budget but unsure if I really need to. I think I am down to deciding between the z97-a Or the maximus vi formula but the maximus is 100$ more than the z97-a. I don't plan to replace the cpu mobo combo for at least 2-3 years after this maybe 4 If it keeps holding up.
