Hi,

I just recently got a i7 2600k and I need a good motherboard to go with it. I plan on overclocking it to 4.6-4.8 ghz maybe?

Can someone please recommend me a best price performance board?

I saw in my store that they have Asrock Z77 Extreme4-M (Micro ATX) and MSI Z77A-GD55.

Does anyone have any experience with these boards? Maybe someone can give me other suggestions.

Thanks

You want to stay away from micro ATX boards. I would look into ASUS ASUS P8Z77-V PRO

Hi They didnt have the p8z77-V Pro on stock and i had to wait a month to get it, i looked at reviews and it seems this asrock board is pretty good, enough features for me, thank you for telling me to stay away from the micro ATX version, i got the non M version.

Thanks again.

Asrock is a good brand, have fun with your upgrade
