Any of these Asus boards based on budget http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%2050001315%20600093976%20600315497&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280%7C13-131-837%5E13-131-837-TS%2C13-131-819%5E13-131-819-TS%2C13-131-821%5E13-131-821-TS

Since you are getting all these top end hardware you should a high end Mobo as well.
ASUS Maximus V GENE Motherboard or the ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 Motherboard should do it

 

[Finkss]

And that MOBO, P8Z77-V Deluxe?

 

[rolli59]

It is a good board. Like the other Asus boards listed.

I would agree to the sabertooth it has a five year warranty, ways to protect your motherboard from heat and dust, built in wireless which is pretty good, a nice large amount of things on the rear i/o port. cost=$240

 

[DarkOutlaw]

If you wanna spend alot, get the Sabertooth z77. If you wanna spend less, get the Asrock z77. Beware all Asus boards have slower boot times.

 

[Finkss]

Which is better? Sabertooth z77 or P8Z77-V Deluxe

 

[DarkOutlaw]

I have nothing to base it on other than reviews/other users, but I would say the Sabertooth.

 

[rolli59]

It is rather do you need for example the extra 2 x SATA 6GB ports on the deluxe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%2050001315%20600093976%20600315497&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280|13-131-821^13-131-821-TS%2C13-131-818^13-131-818-TS
Both are great boards that allow for maximum overclock.

 

[Finkss]

I do not know what I get. Argh!

 

[rolli59]

I personally would get the Sabertooth!

I have a 3770k with Corsair 16Gb and GTX 680 on a P8Z77V-Pro. Love the setup!

 

[deathengine]

ASrock z77 extreme 4 is a tremendous value. And overclocks like a champ.

What power supplie you use?

What power supplie you use?

Corsair Professional HX850W




EDIT: I have allot of HD's.

 

[Finkss]

I think I'll pick SABERTOOTH ASUS Z77.

He has better cooling and has that protection against dust.

 

[rolli59]

If you go with anything more expensive than the PRO that would be the board I would get.

 

[bruce555]

The thing that I didn't like about the Sabertooth was that it didn't come with the onboard wifi like the pro and the deluxe do.

 

[rolli59]

WiFi card $15-20. then go for the PRO.

Plus you can OC your mobo from your cell phone / bluetooth and double check voltages/fan speeds and what not.

 

[rolli59]

OK! That to me is a totally unnecessary feature.

 

[Finkss]

I was reading that this mobo is having problems with the cooler, is this true? Is happening to many people?

The CPU cooler? I haven't had any problems at all.
