    Question ASRock vs EVGA vs Asus?

    I'm looking at what Z77 board to get, due to the constraints of my colour scheme (sad I know) I'm pretty much stuck between the following three ATX / eATX boards. (I'm not considering the smaller Maximum Gene as its small and looks silly in a 650D). I plan a mild overclock of an i5 3570K to around the 4.5-4.7ghz area with cooling provided by a H100. Typical 8gb of RAM and going to be sticking a single GTX 680 air cooled into the mix. 850w modular PSU and a soundcard of some discription.


    The three boards I'm considering are the EVGA Z77 FTW, ASRock Fatal1ty Pro or the Asus Maximus V Formula.









    What are your guys opinions on the above boards and with them three as my "choices" which should I be going for?


    Thanks,
    Sacred

    I have always been an Asus man, they are always top quality parts. I have an Asus Maximus Formula 3 at the moment and love it.

    I will be going for the Maximus Formula 5 when it is released.

    I have the ASRock but I've had a lot of trouble with my Overclock Bundle from Scan on it so can't really comment on the board. What I can say though is that installing the boards drivers from the provided CD caused constant BSOD on my system.
