Hey guys so my motherboard is dead and asus wants 120 for a replacement So I wanted some advice on what I should do i have a 3770k my budget is around 250 for suggestions

#1 send the mobo into asus pay 120

# buy a used z77 sabertooth of a top rated seller on ebay for 160 and sell my damaged board for 60-80

#3 go to z87 

#4 get something like an asrock extreme 4 and sell my z77 sabertooth 

#suggest something else

I'd take the sabertooth since it has a 5 year warranty so you won't have this situation again.

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Thought of going to a lower class motherboard? I mean you probably don't need all the features and it'll save some $ ;)

What features do you need in a motherboard? Sli?
