Motherboard: Right, I've been having a bit of a dilemma with this one:

Choice of: Asus P8Z77-V (my choice so far, most expensive out of all of these), Gigabyte Z77X-D3H/UD3H, ASRock Z77 Extreme6, MSI Z77A-G45/GD55

Please dont suggest the ASRock Extreme4. I'm tempted by either the Asus or the UD3H...

If you say that you won't be overclocking and running dual graphics, then you're better off with another parts, like, i5-3470 and Ascrock z77 Pro3. In this case PSU also is too powerful, get a quality PSU from Antec, Seasonic, XFX, Corsair or PC Power and Cooling, Silverstone. 520-550w, at least 80 plus bronze
For the money saved you can get 660 ti which i recommend .
