Go to solution Solved by nightlitezzz,

Which one were you referring to? the g45 gaming edition?

 

ya ive heard good things but is it reliable?

The LK is one of the best low budget Z77 motherboards IMHO. Excellent overclocking and features. If you can stretch your budget a little more I would personally jump for a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H. Extremely well made board, if you don't want that one then you can get the MSI 45 Gaming.

I would personally go for the MSI board because of the super nice colors (which would fit my build)

 

There is always some bad feedback on ALL products^^

I was thinking about the blue/black (regular) which is nice.

 

ASUS makes good products and MSI has really stepped up their game and i think MSI is starting to stay on ASUS's level :)

The UD3H is a great overclocker and it is a very solid board imo. Here is a user review about this board: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=706524

As long as the Motherboard isn't made out of legos it should handle a fair share^^

 

Don't worry man, the motherboards from MSI, ASUS or Gigabyte are in high quality (if you pay enough) and should be good enough for your needs :)
