Which motherboard for my 3570k?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I think I am going to go with an ASUS Z77 board. I just want it to overclock well. I don't need more than 3 USB ports. 3.0 isn't important. I only run one video card ever, so SLI/Crossfire is not important to me. I only need one NIC port. What one is the one I need?

well since you want a z77 then this
P8Z77-V
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z77V/

or the Z77 version of the borad you have
Maximus V GENE Micro ATX Z77

Crappy thing is I will have to wait until the 8th to build it due to Best Buy's slow shipping. I get a discount there so I order a lot of accessories through them including my new H80.
