Hi, im about to buy a new pc...
i have in this moment a "old" pc a hp pavilion g60 notebook. its not the best gaming pc hahahahaha...
i need a pc to run SIEMENS SOLID EDGE ST4, make simulations and that things, and gaming aswell
in my contry the pc parts are kinda expensive. so my budget its tigth, but anyway i want the best pc 4 my monny
so...

here are the build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/AnUn... but my ask is...

what I should buy ...

the asus sabertooth http://www.asus.es/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/SABER...
or
the gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4...

i like the thermal armor, thermal radar in the asus
in the gigabyte the dual bios.. and the fast charge

thx 4 the help

Best solution

Buy the ASUS end of. Why?
1- 5yr warranty on ASUS
2- Overclocks just as well if not better (due to higher spec components)
3- Comes with software that enables "fast charge"
4- Looks better
5- can flash BIOS using USP if you break it

Also, my recommendation regarding the rest of your PC specs:
- swap to an i5 3570K if you only plan on planing games or software that doesn't use multithreading or use multiple cores
- swap the PSU for something from Corsair, SeaSonic or XFX. These PSUs are MUCH better and more reliable. You don't want a "cheap" PSU taking out the rest of your components
-change to a 23"+ LCD.

[EDIT]
Only saw now that you want to run Solid Edge, stick with the i7 then

UD5H.
It has more power phases(12 vs 8 of the sabertooth), it's cheaper, has all the features you need, overall i'd get the gigabyte, offers better quality.
The sabertooth is overpriced, and its thermal armor is useless.
