which motherboard??

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

What's your current build?

The two motherboards have different sockets meaning they're for different processors.</p>

Edit: Well since I'm the best answer and I didn't give a good enough one. I might as well add some information.</p>
If this is anything like the z77 version, it should be a good motherboard choice. Decent onboard sound, overclocking capability, most importantly, a decent price: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z87g43

About to upgrade my system wondering what you guys think between the gigabyte Z87X-ud3h or the asrock extreme 6
