Ok so last week i got around to ordering my newest build and had asked here for opinions on what mobo and what psu. Well fast forward 1 week and my stuff's in the mail or almost ordered but I am still soooo confused about ....WHAT mobo !?!

So finally i've zero'ed it down to

a) Maximus V Gene (love the led underneath, VFM, features !!!)

b) ASrock Fatal1ty (waaay to many features, but good or gimmick ? mixed reviews)

c) Gigabyte z77x-ud5h (VFM, but mainly getting mixed reviews and feelings about this one)

They're all costing me almost the same give or take 10-20 bucks so the price here dont matter really. What matters most is OC, SATA ports, USB 3.0 ports, good sound and features.

And yes going to OC cpu and gpu no benchmarking and stuff just for decent gaming on a 3 monitor eyefinity setup mainly BF3 and Crysis 3, Witcher 2. Planning to get another 7970 in there and crossfire in 6-9 months.

Corsair Vengeance C70,

i5-3570K,

Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz DDR3,

Sapphire 7970 OC

Corsair H100

Corsair AX1200

OCZ Vertex 4 256gb SSD

2tb Seagate Barracuda

(Got a group discount on all corsair stuff....don't ask)

ASUS P8Z77-V PRO

or

ASRock Z77 Extreme4

And you do not need a 1200w psu a good 850w is more then enough for even two 7970's and overclocking

CORSAIR HX Series HX850
