Mobo needed for GTX Titan and Oculus Rift help

[IPsoFreely]

Hey,

I have just bought an Asus GTX Titan to use with my Oculus Rift that is set for delivery on the 8th August.

I would like suggestions of an intel MOBO that would best suit them. I will need to have a LGA1155 Socket as I will be using my current i7 3770k.

This will be for my own use and will only be used for gaming.

I was looking at the Asus Maximus v extreme Z77 but it was to me to post on here to get better advice.

thx.

The Maximus VI Extreme? That's an 1150 board so your 3770k isn't compatible.

Go for an MSI mPower or Z77-GD65.

All i heard was IM GETTING GOODIES lol

Mpower gets my vote if it can match your rig if not try sabertooth

Yeah sorry, I noticed I put that, I changed it. It was meant to be Maximus v. The 'i' was not intended.

I'd still recommend saving your money and getting the mPower. It'll perform just as well as the Maximus for half the price.

I currently have a modified Sabretooth mobo from work to use with my k5000.

Cost is not an issue.

Doesn't matter at all if cost isn't an issue...
It's still half the price for the same performance.

Thank you, reading Benchmark review of the Z77 mpower now.

MPower is hard to go wrong with, it is an outstanding board. It's about my favorite Intel board. The Sabertooth is my overall favorite board of any platform though. If money is not a problem, I suggest the Sabertooth. Ridiculous durability and build quality. It's built to handle stupid amounts of overclocking. It's handled my 8150 which sucks down a LOT of juice and I have flat out hammered on this thing. I've been as high as 1.55V at 4.8 GHz running Intel Burn Test on a desperation run trying to get it stable which is probably 250 watts just into the CPU and this thing never so much as whimpered and none of the VRMs had any heat issues according to Thermal Radar.

I have a Sabertooth well a modified/custom built one based on the Asus Sabertooth board already but that's to handle the large amounts of memory I use for work, 8 DIMM slots on it.

I don't plan to overclock the new board since I wont have my works tech support to sort it out if I screw it up. I don't have a clue how overclocking works anyway so I aint gonna try I'm a designer not a tech head.

If you want to blow a silly amount of money on a MOBO for no reason (I can understand that myself lol), I would get a Sabertooth Z77, if not a ASRock Extreme4 Z77 would do.

The Mpower gets my vote for sure. It's very good value for money.

mPower, and can you reduce your sig size a bit please, if you can get them onto the same line I'd appreciate it. (trying to enforce height limits on sigs, nicely)
