Which motherboard?

[ruairi.C]

So for my new PC I was wondering which motherboard I should go for. I was going to get a GD-65 but then I started to think that it was too brown and was wondering what other options there were for me. So I now I'm looking at the:

Asus P8Z77-V: http://www.ebuyer.com/363230-asus-p...-displayport-hdmi-8-channel-audio-atx-p8z77-v

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H:http://www.ebuyer.com/351596-gigaby...-displayport-8-channel-audio-atx-ga-z77x-ud3h

GD-65: http://www.ebuyer.com/345316-msi-z7...-8-channel-hd-audio-atx-motherboard-z77a-gd65
(if i get MSI's then I'll get it of Aria as it's £10 cheaper so they're pretty much a very similar price)


So which board should I go with and why? (I know there are a lot of GD-65ers on here so that might influence it but I'm not sure about which one. I can't think of anything really I need from the motherboard specifically but if there's something I should consider then fire away.

What about the G45 or GD55?

My experience with my asus board - same range has been nothing but good, so I'd say that.

What other components are you using?

3570k
corsair ax650
samsung 830
WD Blue 500gb
GTX 670 PE
for RAM I was thinking of this... it seems like it's been labeled wrong or something to me though?

Case and CPU cooler are still not completely confirmed but I have a few ideas.

contimplating SLI?
heavy networking connection(s)?
tend to use a lot of HDD/SDD?
need a sound card?
needing server aspects?
overclocking CPU/RAM/GPU?

these questions are for motherboard criteria. once you got those answers, you basically need to
choose which brand suits your needs and scheme. rather than starting at the top and working down.

I'm getting the GIGABYTE Z77X UD5H. It seems like a good choice and you've already listed the UD3H so maybe look into it

Putting my cash into the gd65 soon. There is a big bang version but i dont need the extra bits you get on it
