ASRock Z77 Extreme4 OR Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

[Marcuskac]

I just cant decide between these two.
I am buying an i7 3770K so i need to upgrade my motherboard
As far as i saw the Z68 is good for that but the Z77 has more
features like MVP.

I found a new and much cheaper Z68. (Everywhere i looked it was more expensive than the 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.

Z77 because u get access to all features, like wireless HDMI.

U can connect to the TV set with no cable. With Z68 mobo u cant.

Z77 for sure now

Z77 it is. If u would get Z68, u would have to find somebody with Sandy Bridge CPU to update the BIOS, so it would recognize the CPU : ))

That is a hassle for most people ...
