The Asrock Z77-EXTREME4-M is the microATX version of the standard extreme4.
All features seem to be the same, I didn't knew that :p (sorry about that)
ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M
Good looks, nice layout, UEFI BIOS, lots of features & an attractive price tag.

that would be the ASUS !... no doubt in my mind,... opinions vary though. the SIZE (8GB) and Speed (1600 mhz) of RAM you have in mind should be Sufficient, hard to say for sure since you gave no specifics on use. and i suppose you probably already know this, but it's very important so it bears repeating... BE SURE you check the QVL List (ASUS Qualified Vendor List ) to make sure the Ram you buy, will be PRE-TESTED as compatible and keep the warranty valid.
Good Luck, my friend !

8gb is enough.

All three motherboards you've listed are really good boards.
the ASRock Z77 extreme4-M would also be a good choice.
Its cheap & has many features for the price. It has really made a name for itself, & is quite highly regarded.

ok , to more specific ... what games do you play, and which one do you play the most.
(i Have seen a few benchmarking test that reflected slightly less overall speed, from larger capacity ram, when they compared 4 x 2GB AND 4 X 4GB Back to back.)
Matching Hardware can be a Fickle Process...

bartholomew, makes a valid point About the ASRock, it it not a brand i have used in my Builds, BUT i am hearing positive Feedback from my Geek Friends... i like the ASUS because (for me) it has Been EXTREMELY consistent in Booting up right away, and running smoothly (perhaps after a BIOS Update anyway...lol)

Damn.. I-7 ! + that's just plain sexy !.... lol.
OK, then.. looks like you know what your Doing Here !
i would recommend that you read the customer comments on the specific Ram Modules that you have in mind, (newegg is a good source for that) after you narrow the choices down to three or four.... that's how i make my choices in hardware... READ... then Read Some More.... lol.
Good Luck Bro... its Sunrise here in California... My Destiny (and Starbucks) AWAIT !

There are other good Z77 boards like the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO or Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H.
The ASRock Z77 extreme4 provides similar features for a relatively cheap price & hence considered a good choice for an IB build.
Has a nice UEFI BIOS

All in all, Its good value for money
