Hey guys,

I'm going to build a gaming pc 1st week of May. I originally thought of getting this MSI z77a-g45 Mobo http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=69231&vpn=Z77A-G45&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar&promoid=1201. However, somebody told me to steer away from it because (1) to save money, and (2) I am not planning to SLI/Crossfire anyway.

Though I do not plan to, I would like to have the option if I do change my mind in the future. That being said, would either one of these other MoBo's give me that possibility?

1) Gigabyte Z77 - D3H: http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=70264&vpn=GA-Z77-D3H&manufacture=Gigabyte&promoid=1360

or

2) Asrock z77 pro 3: http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=70901&vpn=Z77%20Pro%203&manufacture=ASRock

Thanks for the help. :D

Both of those boards support only Crossfire X, The Asrock z77 Pro 3 also support Quad-Crossfire X.

None of the boards support SLI, so if you have intentions of using Crossfire X then I would personally go with the Gigabyte Z77, due to the amount of expandable and upgradable PCI/PCI E slots.
