Yes I've got one. Its a brilliant board. Not having had any other Z77 boards I can't really compare it but I am very happy.
Pressed the overclock button and it overclocked my CPU from 3.5 to 4.2 straight away and now I've fiddled with it myself I am running at 4.6.
It seems very fast and very stable - also it looks very nice (IMHO) and it's got room for 2 SLI cards and a physx card so plenty of room for expansion.

Check my thread here >> **Official MSI Z77 MPOWER Discussion Thread**
The Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP4 TH would be a very good alternative, it uses IR3550 PowIRstage® ICs, it will clock higher on lower volts.
Their was a great article in the November issue of Custom PC magazine, which I now buy every month.

Well what are your needs from your motherboard?
What components are you planning to use, what features do you need, what sort of overclocking are you aiming at?
I'd be suprised if the gigabyte was better than the MSI. My 3770k runs totally stable at 4.4 on default volts on the MSI.
