Thanks in advance for reading and posting!
Just received a call from a family member who says that the was in Microcenter today and the sales person suggested the GA-Z87X-UD5H.
Have seen this review on HardOCP
Gigabyte looks to have some stellar hardware in the Z87X-UD5H motherboard. Gigabyte has shown us a true evolution in its hardware and its Easy Tune software. Gigabyte looks as if it is wanting to truly compete in the high end enthusiast motherboard market again, although there are some unpolished edges on the Z87X-UD5H. There are some issues that are most likely BIOS related that will have to be worked out, and none of these are truly deal breakers, but you would surely want to see these addressed quickly. Had UEFI cursor support not slipped back to being terrible, and we had not seen the intermittent flash drive compatibilities, the Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H would have been an award winner today. The Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H can be purchased for right at $225 with Free Prime shipping which we think is a solid value for the feature set and utilities provided.
Have looked for other reviews to get a better understanding of the O/C abilities, Installation (and issues - if any), Durability, etc.....
I know if might seem a little too good to be true - however said family member said with a processor the motherboard is $75. I don't want to tell him not to buy it - he says that it is retail. (I know lucky, very lucky).
My biggest concern is that he will have a million questions and you know who will be providing the answers!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks again to reading and responding!
