    Going Intel, need a decent Z77 board

    don't want to spend over £100, but there are so many to choose from

    Would prefer Gigabyte due to UK based and quick RMA, but would consider others.

    Will be paired with 3570K, ATI 7950, 650W OCZ PSU, SSD, several hard drives.

    Looking to get at least 4.4Ghz stable (seems quite plausible).

    Sure you don't want to wait for Haswell?

    Re: Going Intel, need a decent Z77 board

    Surprised... Especially given that prices have gone up recently...

    The Gigabyte DS3H seems like your best bet. Out of the Asus boards, the V Lx seems like a good budget one, but the LK is £20 more and has sli support...

    Re: Going Intel, need a decent Z77 board

    Id recommend the Z77X-UD3H. Its just over £100 but is extremely cheap for a board like its self. Culd also consider the DS3H but that is a low end board where is you could pick a mid end such as the UD3H

    ASrock's Fatal1ty board is quite good.

    Mechanism for activity inflation. Thread was necro'd by one of these 20-post Scan Free Shipping morons. Subsequent genuine posters took no notice of the date.

    Bothers me. Meh.
