I have a MSI z77a G45 Thunderbolt motherboard and the motherboard speaker connector isn't working, so the store i got it from is replacing it.

I have 3 options at the moment:
1. another g45 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130665&Tpk=msi%20z77a%20g45%20thunderbolt&IsVirtualParent=1
2. msi z77a mpower - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130660
3. asus p8 z77 lk - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837

Also as a note i'm using an intel i7 3770k cpu.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

ASRock Z77 Extreme 4, one of the better mobos, out there, MSI has poor QC (which is prob why your went belly up), the Asus is a good mobo also, but I'd lean toward the Rock, have over 30 builds on the mobo

If the 3 choices all fit your needs I would choose the ASUS board for support reasons. If needed you have official support here, at ROG and several other forums.
