Another new build, help with mobo choice

[Genesius]

Hello, everyone, just as my personal rig is nearing completion i am already thinking of upgrading it and a freind of mine would like a new build.

SO im currently running the Gigabytle Z77x-ud5h and i think its great.

But as im new to the whole overclocking thing, i want to know whats about for around £160 and in your opinions is good for use while overclocking.

has to be socket 1155

Is it really that good?

I've never used MSI. I was thinking of putting the same board as mine - GA Z77X-UD5H or the ASUS Z77 Sabertooth.

Why is the MSI better. I've seen the OC3D review, but other reviews say they software is crap and lacks features.

Why does everyone on here like this board so much over the others? Is it price or does it do something else?

Just interested as I'm new to this, I want to see what makes people choose the board they did. I mean I'm happy with my gigabyte, but again, I'm a noob so have nothing to compare it to in terms of OC ability.

UD5H should still be a great overclocker, the VRM's Gigabyte uses are to notch and would easily handle a pretty hefty OC
