Hey Guys,
I am sitting here debating with myself whether to go ahead and buy or not, and I would really like yall's opinion on this. Currently Microcenter is having a sale where you buy a 2600k and get $80 off any Z68 motherboard. I started out two weeks ago and bought a ASRock Extreme 4 Gen3 board. The board was awesome looking and the features are great, but the BIOS was terrible. I was on the phone with ASRock for 2 hours trying to figure out what's wrong with the BIOS. The BIOS will not load half of the time and finally it just gave up and I can only go to BIOS and not load windows. I was pretty disappointed, so I returned the board and everything. Now Microcenter is having the same sale again, I am debating if I should go ahead and get an ASUS board and be done or should I wait till ASUS release their Gen3 then buy. ASUS hasn't announce the release date, and who knows how long that will take. Any suggestion is welcomed. I am not fully stuck on ASUS, it's just that I had really good luck with them. MSI, and Gigabye will work too. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
