New Mobo for build (Gigabyte vs ASRock)

[miniruss3]

New build going in and I'm not good with choosing motherboards.

Case: Antec 900
CPU: Intel Ivy Bridge 3.4
GPU: Gigabyte Gtx670
Memory: Ripjaw 8gb

Motherboard:
I can't decide between:::
Gigabyte GA-77X-UD5H
ASRock Z77 Extreme4

Also if anyone has any other motherboards that are in the same general price range that are good please feel free to let me know. Thank you guys!

Depends upon who you ask, but between those (2) I'd choose the GA-Z77X-UD5H and given the choice the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO or ASUS P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT if have any future interest in Thunderbolt.

Okay thanks. I'm leaning towards the Gigabyte right now. I have an older Gigabyte that has performed wonderfully.

Gigabyte's are typically fine with the UD5, UD7 and maybe in the future again UD9 lines --- though they blew it with LGA 2011 and the UD3 lines on LGA 1366 were crap as well. So it depends on the series and less on the Mfg.
