Gigabyte all the way! Solid motherboards from them 

Posted

Planning a new sick white and blue build and I am stumped on the motherboard I want, it is between these 2

I am wanting to get a 4770K and I want to see how far I can push it on 1.3V (If my cooling is good enough) So overclocking capability is something to consider :D Also I will not be running SLI or crossfire most probably (I like single cards) I am leaning towards the Gigabyte for the black PCB, it would look a bit better in the white and blue build, the MSI has a brown PCB which doesn't seem to look so good in my head imagining the build xD Anyway all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! :D <3333

Current Build: Case: Define R4 White/Window CPU: i5 3470 @4.0Ghz GPU: GTX 680 DCUII +500Mhz(Mem) Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO Monitor: Acer Monitor 1920x1080 MOBO: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 Storage: 2TB HDD, 120GB 840 EVO (OS)

Future Build: 4670K, GTX 780 MSI TwinFrozr OC, Z87X-D3H, 8GB @1866Mhz, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 750D, RM 650W, Custom Loop. White/Blue/Black Colour Scheme. I literally cannot wait *_*
