Hello,

So I am looking to build a new Ivy Bridge based computer in the next few days but im stuck as to what motherboard I should get...
I was reading the Tom's Z77 round up and a few other sites that were doing the same thing and I fond these boards,

I would like not to get the Sabertooth just because of its price but I am willing to put the money out if you guys think its worth it.

I will be using a 3570K and a GTX 680 with this board

Thank you!

They are all good, I'd go with the Asrock just cause of the price.

Even consider this one, I mean do you need something this board doesn't have that justifies that much more money?

I also wanted to know, if you can suggest a good motherboard with a few more USB's that would be great!

I ended up going with the Sabertooth and its amazing!

The sabertooth is designed with military grade everything. The board also has its own cooling system. I would say its only needed if you plan on having your motherboard for over 6 years or have your computer running in a hot room 80 degrees or hotter and want to ensure stability.

As for the ASROCK board... You get what you pay for... if you don't expect to overclock... You'll be fine. But if you are going to do some overclocking, all the reviews and performance overclocks I have seen with them don't come anywhere close to what the Power of ASUS can do. Just about anyone that wants to overclock to max possible performance will go with an ASUS Mobo.

You can also just get a USB Set that takes up one of the expansion slots on the back of the case and plug it into the motherboard. There are numerous USB plug-ins on the board... each one will support 2 USB ports.
