gigabyte (GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB WIFI )have high quality WiFi Expansion Card, so you can use DLNA Streaming with gigabyte mother board

Q - Why WiFi? You can accomplish the same thing with a 'wired' solution which is considerably better. The only stuff I want in my house on WiFi are Notebooks, Phones and Tablets and then running off the Router + WiFi and if needed multiple Access Points. I don't even want my BR Players on WiFi -- it's too slow and inconsistent -- I hate watching a NetFlix move just to have it 'pause' while it 'buffers' ruining the mood.

Now IF you cannot get a 'CAT-5e/6' cabling then use PowerLine - http://www.youtube.com/user/NCIXcom/videos?query=PowerLine

hey man , if you are agood overclocker , then , choose asus p8z77 deluxe
gigabyte is a *** for overclocking but only more Ridiculous features that you dont use , the real defference between boards is overclocking ability and asus is the only company that broke records with its aweasome boards

gigabyte motherboard one of the best motherboards for overclocking in the world,and the gigabyte motherboard you chose have better cooling for overclocking.

My experience with Gigabyte in the forums:

LGA 1156 = mixed bag
LGA 1366 = bad except UD7 & UD9 which were good
AM3 = good
LGA 1155:
P67 and Z68 = initially very bad (horrible bad batches UD3, UD4 & UD5) then okay
AM3+ = good
LGA 2011 = very bad with recalls even through the UD7 lines
LGA 1155:
Z77 = knock on wood 'seems' good

Now when I see that kind of track record it's understandably tough for me playing the odds to place my rep on Gigabyte. Overclocking doesn't even ring a bell when my primary concern is 'will the MOBO fail?'

Gigabyte and overclocking - typically the UD5 and UD7 or higher lines though the last UD9 was LGA 1366.
