I have no idea which Z77 motherboard to get

[CarlCAgathon]

I am ordering parts for a new gaming PC. I can't reach a consensus on which Z77 ATX motherboard to get. My parts are:

CPU: i7 3770k



GPU: MSI GTX 680 2GB/OC Twin Frozr III


MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance 8GB


OPTICAL DRIVE: Asus 24x DVD Burner


HARD DRIVE: Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1TB Caviar Black


SSD: Samsung 840 120 GB SSD


PSU: Corsair HX750


SOUNDCARD: Asus Xonar DX


OS: Windows 7 OEM


CASE: Corsair 600T White Edition


CPU COOLER: Hyper 212 EVO



I want to do some overclocking (as much as the Hyper 212 will allow me). I have no use for integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Would like to stay under $200. Most important thing to me is stability. Best one I've come across is this one:

Any recommendations? Thanks!!!

Nice Board (link) but total overkill for just 'some' overclocking, considering you have a budget. Any GB Z77 board should provide you the ability to do normal overclocking with relative ease and stability.

Agree with above. No reason to pay more than $150 for a z77 board for your purposes. Here are a few recommendations, but I don't think you can really make too much of a wrong choice even if you picked something else around the same price.

MSI Z77A G45 $130

Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 $135

Gigabyte GA Z77X D3H $140

Asus P8Z77-V LK (currently~$120 AR+Promo)

This board was on sale for $75.00 or $80.00. I think regular price is about $130.00

This one is on the high end of cost, but something to look at. Sometimes overkill is fun.
