Poll: 3 Boards - £150.00 - Which would you buy ? [Poll Request]

[Komedy]

Time to swap out my 1090t and go Sandy with an i5 2500k and have narrowed my board selection to the following. I'll be running an SSD and eventually will pair another 6870 with the existing one I have in time for the Xmas batch of game releases.

All priced within £5 of each other, so which would you buy and why.

Asus Maximus IV Gene Z
AsRock Extreme4 Gen3
Asus P8Z68-V PRO

Ta in advance

AsRock, the top one is M-ATX so its tiny.

Is that necessarily a bad thing, I never run any other exp cards so don't really need them so other than size ?

Asus P8Z68-V PRO you get much better support than you get from Asrock.

 

[Ak!ta]

Without a doubt the Asrock...

Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 superb board.

AsRock Extreme4 Gen3 - awesome board so far

 

[samhain]

I think most z68 motherboards are slightly underperforming agInst equivalent p67 boards but they are just out so bios improvements will get better with time. I have the asrock

 

[chippy08]

When Asrock get there finger out to sort out old problems i will be happy.

 

[B&W]

no problems with the new extreme4 gen3 only the older boards have problems

Ok so AsRock it is then - now what 1600 ram would best suit.
