MSI z77A-G43 vs AsRock Extreme4 Z77

If you want the option of running two graphics cards in SLI, only the Asrock board will do. The Asrock board may overclock better, but probably not by much.

With such a big price gap, I'd generally recommend the MSI board.

Do note that MSIs closest equivalent of the Asrock Z77 Extreme4 is the MSI Z77A-G45.

Not running SLI and haven't thought about OC'ing anything so...

But I'd still like a couple more opinions

By saying that maybe the G43 vs G45. G45 is about $50 more

Help us out? What website are you buying from?

Maybe a different mobo would be advised.

'Tis the best for my region  

Don't forget. H77 motherboards CAN NOT overclock the 3570k. If you want to overclock you must buy the Z77 motherboard. I linked a MSI Z77 G43 that can be overclocked.

For the price, it looks good. You will get a good overclock out of it. Just play with the overclock and you'll be happy. The Z77 Extreme 4 is really expensive where you live.

You are buying a 500W PSU, right?

It says Z77 in the title. That board is the one he was looking at.

PS: OP, remember to get a decent cooler for the CPU. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for example.

I was planning on getting that cooler, exact model. However, is it necessary to get that instead of the stock. I have never OC'd and don't know the technicalities of it so I probably won't 'risk' it. But I guess that's another thread  

Well if you don't intend to OC then the stock cooler is fine. But if you're not overclocking you're essentially wasting quite a bit of cash by getting a CPU and a motherboard intended for overclocking.

I will need some tutorials to OC properly, I would appreciate if someone provides some.

Also, I will be taking the G43

Sorry for the Late Comment Bbrk... but MSI g43 is a horrible overclocking board... I have the same set up as you but different brands
I5 3570k (OC to 4.0 ghz @ 1.104v) <- voltage not really sure due to MSI BIOS not registering correctly which is the problem for overclockers with this board.
Gigabyte 660ti 2gb, 750 modular psu, x40 kraken nzxt cooler. I too am a beginner overclockers but this board is a horrible board to start with. Asrock does have the better BIOS/UEFI set up than MSI and overclocking is something you should learn especially with the set up you have or your wasting its potential. there is a thread here by Mr. Face easy step by step set up only thing is you dont need to reinstall windows.
