Both are greatly rated.

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.

Thank you very much for the input and the link to the review. What I gathered from that review is that the Extreme 4 doesn't have good a good audio chipset onboard? Is that accurate?


Would you say the reliability on the ASRock is comparable to the Gigabyte? That is my main worry right now.

Thanks again.

With Z77 chipset, I would say they are close. ASUS#1, Gigabyte #2 ASRock #3

But all very close, and ASUS and ASRock are build in the factory by ASUStek.

 

[nikorr]

But for the price, ASRock is a better choice.

I build some PC's with that mobo and it had no problems, including the audio.
