I am in dire need of advice for my next build in the Bitfenix Prodigy (Gaming/LAN rig). It would be a toss-up between these three mini itx boards:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z77I_DELUXE/
http://teksyndicate.com/news/2012/07/19/evga-release-mini-itx-z77-motherboard (of course, considering it will be out in the next month and a half)
My main concerns are with power delivery as I will be slapping my overclocked GTX570 Beast Edition (Core:870;Mem:1900;Volt:1063mV), i5-2500K including an H100 in a push-pull configuration (overclocked to 4,2Ghz), an OCZ Vertex 3 and a Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive all running off a Silverstone SST-ST85F-P 850W power supply.
The Asus board seems to have take care of the power delivery situation with their beefy looking power design protruding vertically from the board. However, the Asus board is horribly over-priced is my opinion. How does the Asrock board compare to the Asus one considering the current overclocks on my system? I am well aware that the EVGA board has not yet been released but is there any indication to how it will perform?
Thanks in advance for any help/tips/advice
All the best
