Need a Board

[Kyle]

I'm looking for a board for preferably less than . I'm looking at the Gigabyte Z77-UD5H because of the cool bios, dual LAN and lots of USB ports. The ASUS Z77 P8Z77-V also looks cool. I'm going to be overclocking a 3570K with 2x4gB of vengeance RAM, and a 660 Ti. Some people have said that the GD65 is also good but it doesn't have a nice amount of USB ports. What's the best board for me?

 

[seumasbeathan]

The GD65 is a fantastic board, even the G45 would be fine

 

[Kyle]

okay well the z77 ud5h is the same price and it has more usb ports, a better bios and dual LAN so is the gd65 better because it has more support?

 

[seumasbeathan]

I can't really say as I don't have it but does like 2 extra usb ports really matter? and why do you say better bios?

 

[Kyle]

it's got some 3d bios with a scrollerbar or something. it's not a big deal but if they're the same price, why not just bag the one with dual lan and more usb?

 

[seumasbeathan]

The MSI one has a UEFI bios to

I'd much rather the good old fashioned blue screen BIOSs.

I must admit I did love the old gigabyte bios, apart from my current asrock board Gigabyte is all I have ever had

The new GUI on the gigabyte boards looks good, but it has terrible support for mice, meaning you just have to use the keyboard anyway

ye well i decided to get the one without all the peripherals for faster boot times, etc. i just thought that there must be something i'm missing since the normal z77 ud5h is the same price and has a bit more extras
