Is SABERTOOTH worth it?

[jmathis1108]

I'm building my first gaming rig. I know that the two components that are going to be permanent are CPU and board. So these things I am trying to future proof. Im getting the i5 3570k CPU and I cannot decide whether to get an ASRock Extreme 4 Z77 or go all out and get an ASUS Sabertooth Z77. I would rather get Asus products just because I'm a freak about it...tried and true. Any advice? I'm just using the comp to play WoW and want to do so at 60+ FPS on ultra end game raiding content.

Unless u are going to go crazy with OC, u can go with ASRock Extreme 4 Z77.

U can definitely use this one -> ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 -> ... Latest Z77...

I just build PC with this mobo and I like the BIOS, its looks like this.

Works as expected @ 4.4GHz

That is a great mobo choice for the CPU. It has good power design for OC.

Use the saved money for better GPU.

NO!
Do not get the Asrock z77 Extreme 4...
Here is why:I wanted to get the Extreme 6 which has better quality components and more features...but I searched a lot and my friend show me an article in a mag for the z77 extreme series from Asrock...do not get the Asrock,it has bad features and its performance is not so good and a lot of people have problems with it...some do not....But if you do not want to risk and if you can get the Sabertooth...actually I am going to get one...it has 5 year warranty,better components,better overclocking potentials and runs cooler...here is my advice,the choice is now yours!
