descent 1155 itx board?

lads I was about to get the asrock z77e-itx but I thought I'd throw it up first.

other options look to be an MSI Z77IA-E53, Gigabyte GA-Z77N-Wifi and at the top end of the budget is a ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe.

it'll be used with a 3570K and a gtx690 so high OC is necessary.

I've got a Corsair A70 and will be moving onto water, an xspc raystorm. will either be a problem?

darn. its by far the prettiest board.

any comment on the other options?

on the 3570k I'd be hoping for 4.6. the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe doesn't seem to OC as well as the sister board attached to it let's on. still 'only' gets 4.6 in reviews. I don't get what the huge premium is for then.

I've found an unofficial, and short, list of compatible coolers for the asrock z77e-itx for anyone who's interested here:
