Hi there,

I'm looking at getting an Ivy Bridge i5-3570k bang on release day, with a Z77 (or perhaps Z75, I don't really know the difference) motherboard.

Now, I've never closely follow a platform release closely before so I'm not really sure what motherboard availabilty will be like on release.

I'm wanting a mATX board, and I know there's typically quite a few feature-basic models out there and also some feature-rich ones such as the ASUS Maximus IV Gene. On a typical platform release, are there these nice top end boards or do they come out a few months after? I'd really like to grab an ASUS Z77 mATX board for my Ivy build.

Thanks!
