The power stage of the Asrock Pro (3 or 4) are a little to short for proper overclocking
Go for an extreme 4, it is rock solid and the best bang for the buck!
Not too terribly much.. I think there are less power phases, so when overclocking things may run a bit warmer... but with moderate overclocks, that board would be fine.hey i have a quick question the ASRock Z77 pro 4 and pro 3 what is the diffrence are they just as good?

thhe m version is 13 euro cheaper so should i just get the extreme 4

also i have a 300 watt psu laying around of GOOD quality it will not explode is 300 wat enough i doubt it but what do you think
Could you give us a link to your 300W PSU?
It depends on your OCing target since OCing increases the power consumption...
IF your PSU really does 300W, then you could make it ( a 7770 + i5 3570K at stock level + the rest ~200W max). I wouldn't recommend to go over 250W with a 300W PSU (in long term).
If you plan a moderate OC (like 4.2 GHz), then it still should be fine IF the PSU is quality![]()
i can not give you a link because i pulled it out of another pc
Oh yeah? Screenshots of the label with all the info so we can confirm.also i have a 300 watt psu laying around of GOOD quality it will not explode is 300 wat enough i doubt it but what do you think

That said, with overclocking, 300W is a bit low... and leaves absolutely zero room for getting a better GPU down the road.
Case is up to you really. The one you selected is fine to me. Just make sure it has a couple intake and exhaust and all will be well.
do you know where i could get a cheap 7870 and can you have a look at this
cpu AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition processor - Socket AM3/AM2 + (3400MHz)
ram Corsair Vengeance RAM (PC1600, 8GB, CL9) DDR3 Memory Kit
psu Cooler Master GX650 voeding (650 watt, ATX23)
case cit jupiter
gpu Sapphire 11199-00-20G HD7870 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
hdd seagate barracuda 1tb 7200RPM
mobo Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Id rather have a CX600 than that CMaster PSU.
