What it the Best Value High End Z77 MOBO?? New your help

Those all seem like extreme overkill.

This is still a very good board minus the extreme and unnecessary power phases in the UP7 unless you plan on competitively overclocking or something.

Plus it has Thunderbolt ports, and a WiFi card included.

You could even go with a good mid to high end board with wifi the

If you are trying to buy a board to impress people I would go with the UP7.

Other than that once the cost of the board goes over 250 you aren't going to use those features unless you are a serious enthusiast.

Its just a waste especially since you could buy the newest Intel CPU Haswell in June and ditch(recycle) the computer you are building now for the newest and latest components.

I would go with the Asus Deluxe.

Thanks, Sounds like sound advice. I've had some issues with my Z68 and i2700k due to 2 water cooler failures. My machine has been down for over a month so I don't want to wait until June. Have a new i7 3770k on the way and need a board for it that will last until my next urge to update...
