Which mobo is best for my build?

[jcachola]

I play League, and I might plan to do some programming and such. I will also play games that are on steam. I was wondering if anyone could help me with the selection of my mono. (I'm very new to this and I don't know a lot, I'd really appreciate the help)

The mobo's are:

http://www.microcenter.com/product/387554/Z77_Extreme4_Socket_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard

and my build is:

I'd also like some suggestions for storage (I'd prefer HDD)
And if you see any faults with the build or anything I should fix, I'd greatly appreciate some help with that.)

Thank you in advance.

I would personally go with the Asrock one, but both are good motherboards.
You also need a better cooler if you want to overclock.
You can also go with a lower power supply.
And for the HDD, 1tb western digital caviar blue should be enough, but i would recommend at least 60 gb SSD for the boot drive.

Did u like the settup???

i did like it. the only problem is that im looking for the parts in the shop at microcenter in Tustin and bestbuy near where i live. i dont want to ship because i dont want to handle the DoA parts and i dont want to ship them back out because it takes more money out of my pocket.

 

[Sn1992-1361850]

They will not b DOA
Sellers do take care

i know they try to take care of them. but things happen, and sometimes they arent covered by the warranty :/ so i feel its safer to shop at the store

 

[Sn1992-1361850]

Ohkay as u wish but i think DOA is more a manufacturer fault than a shippers
