What about these 3? They are all exactly the same price at my local retailer. What would be the best option to pair with a Core i5 3570K?

Pretty much yes here is some professional testing and benchmarking reviews on two of the boards to help you better decide ASRock are back again with their black n' gold theme for LGA1155 Intel Z77. How well will Extreme4 team up with Ivy Bridge Core i5 3570K?

[Thomas_89]

Yes I noticed, but thanks anyway
The Asrock seems to be a very solid choice according to vortez. That review put it on top of my list!
