Do you already got a board for it and looking for a new one?

 

if yes, DONT buy any new z77 board, Broadwell is here Q4 and that shoud be your new upgrade.

 

If you dont got a board wait for the other comments to appeal with recommendations

 

(I am not specialized in Z77, I am more Z87 and Z97 guy:D)

Are you buying the 3770k new? If you are just wait for either devils canyon or broadwell. If not you can probably pick up an Asus Maximus V board for around that price.

If you REALLY need a new board...

 

Try get your hands on:

ASRock Z77 Fatal1ty

ASRock Z77 OC Formula

ASUS Sabretooth Z77

ASUS ROG Z77

Gigabyte G.1 Sniper Z77

Gigabyte Z77 UD5H/UP7

 

Although your current board is fine and is good for overclocking so I wouldn't spend money here to be honest.

 

You can SLI 770s with your current board, but for single 1080p gaming 1 is just fine.

 

New RAM won't really do anything in terms of performance also. I'd prioritize an SSD over all other upgrades at this point.

 

A learning experience is also to learn that you don't need to make unnecessary upgrades to your PC, as fun as it is. I've been there and done that and it can get quite costly and silly.

Thanks for all your feedback! I'll keep my current board, and memory. I just upgrade storage and fans at this point. Thanks again
