MOBO advice needed please

[Exonian1]

Ok Im ordering the parts for my first build...

I already have a blueray drive, 2no 500gb HD's, 24" monitor, logitech gaming mouse and a Zotac Geforce GTX660ti GPU.

I ordered a Corsair C70 case yesterday.

MOBO's Im thinking are:-
Asus Z77 Sabretooth
Asrock Fatality Z77
Gigabyte Z77-D3H
Aarock Z77 Extreme 4
G1 Sniper MATX (although Im not to sure of the implications of using an MATX board)

But like I said this is my first build, and even looking up as much info as possible I would still rather some advice from you guys.

Im also thinking the i5 3570K Ivybridge Chip & Corsair AX850 PSU.

I have not looked at memory yet or sound card and im still looking into doing my own water cooling for the chip. (or maybe the H100)

Im happy to pay the price for the Sabretooth, but not if it really isnt worth it compared to others

I will only be gaming on this build... BF3 and Borderlands 2 at the moment.

Thanks guys!

The Gigabyte Z77 D3H gets excellent reviews.

But choice will depend on the features on the board you want, are you looking to SLI in the future?

On the PSU front, 850w is major overkill, 750w will be fine for SLI and 550w will be fine for single card.

OK thanks!

Yes I will definately be looking into sli in the future.

Any recommendations on a 750W modular.

Im also one of those that would prefer a colour corordinated tidy interior to my first PC build . Not desperate for it but If I can I will.
