I am an idiot. Recommend me similar to Asus P8Z77-V but having 2 x DVI

I was going to get the Asus P8Z77 (1 x VGA, 1 x DVI) for my i7 3770K overclocked setup but have just realised I have spare DVI ports on both monitors. So what is a decent equivalent motherboard with 2 x DVI outputs?

I have heared issues with the Gigabyte boards and RAM overclocking

PS - on looking most boards seem to have 1 x DVI and 1 x VGA.... thought VGA was been phased out?

I count my blessings my influx of cash for my new PC has been time coming - lets me iron out all the issues first, otherwise I would have jumped in and made a load of mistakes!

I believe that motherboard also has hdmi, so you could use a hdmi to dvi adapter.

would you not connect the graphic card's port to the monitor anyway? rather than using the motherboard's gfx ports

I'm not going to use a graphics card, only the CPUs HD4000 iGPU as I won't be gaming just photo and video editing

Using a hdmi to dvi adapter, does that still give the same digital output that using the dvi port would?

Yes

My P8Z77-V has DVI, HDMI, DP and VGA connectors, so all you need is a HDMI to DVI adapter. It's a good board, and I can certainly recommend it.

Right - thanks for the info.
