Budget Z68 Mobo dilemma
KaKkaR0T
Mar 5, 2012, 3:18 PM
I am going to build a system soon. The parts that I have chosen :
i5 2500k
Asus GTX 560 Ti DCII
Corsair TX750
Corsair 400r
Corsair Vengeance 4GB x 2
CM Hyper 212 Evo
I am unable to decide on the motherboard. Please help me decide
ASUS P8Z68-V LE
or
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3R
or
ASUS MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z
They are pretty much the same price here in India.
P.S. I plan on overlcoking the CPU as far as it can go.

Sorry I forgot to mention but, I wont be using SLI or Crossfire.
Are there any disadvantages to the Gene - Z other than multi-GPU config?
So basically it is between the Gene Z and the GA-Z68XP-UD3R.
which one is better quality?

These three are in INR 2k [$40] of each other, so I'll go with the Gene Z for INR 12.5k [$250]
