Hi,i am getting the i5-2500k, which i am planning to use mostly for high-end games,and while i am sure that it can run every game atm,but i am more concerned about those that have not been yet,which is why i got the OC one,and i do plan to OC if required in the future.
So i was wondering which mobo would give me a better performance in gaming,when paired with the i5-2500k, a z68 or a z77 one? both are already more expensive mobos than my budget, as i was planning to go for a h61,since they are so cheap, (ignore my ignorance), but then i found out the OC feature would be a waste as i would not be able to make full use of it. I wont be upgrading my cpu for a while now so the compatibility with Ivy bridge doesnt really matter.
Also,i am getting a z77 AsRock pro 3 for a lot cheaper than any z68 right now. But i've read that the z77 Extreme3 or 4 is far better, also they are more costly and i was just wondering if it was worth it to go for an extreme 4, if there is no significant difference in performance when compared to the pro 3.
My main concern though is -
1) which mobo is more compatible/gives a better performance while gaming, when paired with the i5-2500k, the z77 or the z68?
2) am i spending too much on the mobo when i can go for a h67 or p67 at a much cheaper price?
3) if go for a z77, is the Extreme 3 or 4 worth the extra price in terms of performance over the pro 3?
I will be using a single gpu-gtx 460 1gb gddr5 with 2 X 4gb Corsair Vengeance ddr3 @1333 Mhz.
