Depending on Budget .....

$185 ASUS P8Z77-V
$210 ASUS P8Z77-V PRO...
$240 ASUS P8Z77 Sabertooth
$340 ASUS P8Z77 WS

But considering the CPU choice, I'd go for the 1st in the list above

I don't live by microcenter by my friend does and i can have him pick up something for me and ship it to me

nikorr said:
Its great deal, for people that can drive in and get it : )

Or if their friends can do that for them.


yeah that is a great deal. I may stick with getting the 3450 and I can get the asus mobo for 135, but i may change my mind and get the asrock deal. thanks again!

nikorr said:
That deal is only if purchased with the i5 3570K processor : )


If i get the 3450 from micro for 150 and the mobo from newegg at 135 (openbox) its $185 for the better mobo but lesser cpu.

or there was the bundle with the 3570k and asrock from microcenter which you showed me and now I am torn about which one to get

nikorr said:
Look, its a great price to pay to get much better CPU.

Intel Core i5-3570K :D 


i think you may have convinced me to go with the better cpu now.

so you are saying its worth going with the asrock and the better cpu over the better mobo and lesser cpu

Best solution

It is a quality mobo, and since u don't have the desire for OC, it is just fine.

The CPU will give u more performance.

The mobos are in most all the same performers if u don't OC.
