post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
Hello all mates,
I like to know all your suggestions about the best mobo for gaming rig
I am choosing between these

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Socket 1155 Motherboard
ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional Socket 1155 Motherboard

and what is the difference between
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Socket 1155 Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H Socket 1155 Motherboard

does it worth about 65$ difference?

feel free to add any more suggestions smile.gif

I think the term best is a rather loose one around here.

From the ones you're looking at, I'd go with the ASRock. But that's just me.

As far as the difference between those two Gigabyte boards, the UD5H is a little more feature rich than the UD3H. Offering more PCIe 3.0 16x slots, more 6Gb/s sata ports, a few more usb 3.0 headers and a few other minor difference.

Go with whatever you feel more comfortable with!
Both are good brands you won't be disappointed just look at which board comes with more features at the same price.

it is clear that ASrock gives more features and in the same price
more SATA connections, more USD 3.0 & more USD 2.0
this makes me feel it would be better as both of them use the same chipsets

does it worth about 65$ difference?

Any of these mobos are excellent for gaming. All of these mobos are great for OCing. Save yourself some money & buy the UD3H thumb.gif It can OC just like the big boys & it's rich with features thumbsupsmiley.png

Sometimes the price does not matter....It's all about the overall quality of the mobo wink.gif
