Yeah that board should be fine. Reviews on Newegg are okay, but there are other options too. I prefer AsRock for value for the $. Asus is good also, so I would consider them also.

Did you have a budget for this mobo that you want to buy?
Are you buying for Canada or U.S., or from somewhere else?
Have you bought all of your other parts listed above?

No i haven't bought any parts yet because i'm wanting to buy them all at once. So later this week i plan on ordering them.

I live in canada and usually buy my parts through ncix (who will price match anybody) Don't really have a price range, would like to keep it in the same general area of the board listed above.
I was told multiple times and i know from experience that the z77 matches well with the i5. Just curious if there is a better mobo out there!
Thanks

I have the AsRock Extreme 4 and have no issues with it. It's priced usually pretty good. Asus does a good job too, so I'd consider them. Just look at options and reviews and make an informed decision about which one you like. Your in the sweet spot for price/performance so that is good. If you need to go lower in budget you usually lose some options, so keep that in mind. I'm not sure who has the best selection/price for your country, but I look at Newegg for info and options too.
