Get a Gigabyte Z77x-D3H or UD3H, they have an amazing VRM section and board power design.

Yes it is an extra 8 pounds but it would be worth it. (Just don't use OC gene.)

I don't recommend AsRock as a friend had his components fried by one of their boards.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.
