I need a Z77 motherboard for around $150

-Will be getting a 3570k to go with it. I overclock but I don't expect to get like 5ghz, just like 4.0-4.5
-Needs room for 2 7870s plus my PCI sound card. A space between the graphics cards would be nice (even if it's the PCI slot for my sound card)
-I would prefer it to be blue or black or anything that looks good with the blue LEDs on my fans and graphics card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138355 BIOSTAR TZ77XE3 (the PCI slot layout is perfect for me, though the colors and the sata ports are ugly)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293 ASRock Z77 Extreme4

So I'll go with the Asrock unless anyone has an objection.

So what you're looking for

PCI Card
2 PCI-E slots (at least x8 x8)
Good VRM setup

Here's some that popped up when I plugged in your requirements. VRM wise, The asus ones only have one side heatsinked, personally I'd aim for the Gigabyte UD3H. If I recall correctly, it has solid reviews on overclocking as well. However, your 7870s would cover the PCI slot on the UD3H correct?

If you do choose the Gigabyte, there's a combo deal with it, if you are getting your 3570k from a taxed source as well.

This is interesting, not sure about quality but it has better onboard sound. I had to dump my Xonar DG because no mATX boards had solid VRM setups AS WELL AS PCI slots.

Not your case though, since you're sticking with ATX sizes.

Good luck! I have a 3570k as well but I chose to go mATX (G1.Sniper M3 baby) to go with the Silverstone PS07B I had.

The PCI slot is right under the 2nd PCI-E slot so I wouldn't be able to fit my sound card. Thanks anyways though.

@ microcenter
I got the i5 3570k for 189.99 along with the Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 for 80 bucks (make sure you purchase them as a combo to be able to get that deal)

good luck with your purchase and overclocking your chip. got mine to run at 4.3GHz within the first day with +0.0005v fixed voltage offset.
