Temps are only high in IBT but i honestly can care less. My processors only have to survive till IB-E gets released

why hasn't an angled atx plug been done before/the norm now? So retarded it faces upwards. You would have thought it would have been done sooner considering almost all sata ports are angled now.... weird

Then, why not a 3770K and a 7970/680?
EDIT: the Asrock z77 Fatality Professional seems like one of the best (if not the best) z77 OC'ing board.

Not a chance. That board is a ripoff for the price. If you're going to pay 300+ for a board. Wait for this one

pass on both, spend under $200 and you'll get a board that will be able to OC your chip just as well. Really pricey "enthusiast" mobos seem to be a bit illogical nowadays. waste of cash if you ask me

Couldn't agree more. The MVG is a steal at 199.99

Agreed, but where did you find it for $199? Cheapest [mainstream stores] I can find it is $204 at superbiiz or 209 at newegg (ignoring some possibly shady dealers)
Granted, in the grand scheme of things what is $10 extra dollars.

Well IB isn't what I was hoping for, as far as OC abilities; mayb this will change by the time i'm ready to buy (new batches with soldier?) it looks like a good board is all you need, nothing exotic. can't decide if IB is what I want, or IB-E; or who even knows, but need to end the update craze at some point. considering I'm only gonna SLI GTX680HC, I might not need all the throughput of s2011.
well this is what I'm considering to hold me over for now, can't really see reason to go above the $170-200 range; and due to my HUGE case i was looking at a ATX vs micro/mini. i'm trying to work with a red/black theme; this is close.

6 of one, half dozen of the other in that class Diaz. Choose your poison.
If it was my money, MVG.
Yeah i think thats what im going to do.. MVG w an mATX case. Probably a TJ08 w/H80 as a cooler for the 3770k. It would be tight with the H80, but should fit. Provably going to OC around 4.5, since everything goes crazy right after that.. lol
