First time building a mini ITX system so un aware of what ones have the best layouts for my needs. So used to building normal sized rigs but i've fallen in love with the white prodigy and just had to get myself one!!!

I will be using a i5 3570k with a h100i cooler.
Followed by a 660 TI i'd imagine!

I think i'v atleast narrowed it down to 3 good ones?

Gigabyte H77N or Gigabyte Z77N. The H77 is cheaper than Z77 but heard you can't overclock on the Z77??
ASRock Z77E-ITX
Asus P8Z77

Comments and advice would be great, If there are other boards that are better please let me know!

Been saying this a lot recently but it's an important point to consider for anyone building a gaming capable ITX system (i.e with a dedicated GPU):

Be carefull of CPU socket to PCI-e slot spacing on ITX boards if you are looking to use a 3rd party heatsink. Some are closer to the slot than others and depending on what cooler and GFX card you use, you have the potential to run into issues.

Yea that's why I'm asking on here! As I don't want to buy one and it not fit a GPU and my cooler. I'm deffo going to be running a Corsair H series water cooling unit.
