No, itworth for $40 more. Actually both are not worth for you. As you want to use a i5-3570, which is a non-k edition, no need to get a z77 chip mobo. H77 is enough for you and you can save some money.Look for this one:

It only cost $70 and has everything for you. Gigabyte h77 cost $95. Thats why i suggest Asrock for saving money.



So if i were to use an i5 3570k, which motherboard would be best?

GA-Z77-D3H.

GA-Z77X-UD3H has more pci-e slot(2xpci-e 3.0 and one pci-e 2.0) which you dont need. GA-Z77-D3H has one pcie 3.0 and one pcie 2.0. Enough for you. Even with multi-gpu you will not see much difference.

As I look, the lowest price you can get UD3H is $139, and D3H is $129. For $10 the UD3H offers better connectivity, (more SATA 3 ports, more flexible RAID options, and an extra PCIe 3.0 slot*) support for faster memory - up to 2666 Mhz and a couple more USB ports. That plus the overclockers'/enthusiast features like a dual bios switch and onboard power and reset buttons would be worth it TO ME. YMMV

* - It's not really an 'extra' slot. Both boards have 16X, 8X and 4X PCIe slots. The difference is that they are 3.0, 3.0 2.0 on the UD3h and 3.0, 2.0, 2.0 on the D3h.
