Which ITX for my gaming setup?

Phunky · 4 Jul 2012 at 10:19

Right i've just been able to source a BitFenix Prodigy early and i'm looking at moving my current system into it but have no idea what ITX board to go for.

All I need is 2x6GB/s SATA3 ports & decent bios that can handle overclock of my i5 (just x45 multipler currently).

So far i've looked at Asus P8Z77-I DELUXE and Asrock Z77E-ITX but not sure of alternatives?

Actually looks like Asus P8H77-I might be perfect for me, I don't need many fancy features just decent performance

or not as I didn't relise that H77 still had locked multipliers... thought they got rid of that limit with the Z68 series, guess not!

AsRock Z68M-ITX/HT looks interesting and a fairly decent price, but I think i'm just going to have to give into the price hike for a decent board i think...

Still waiting on EVGA motherboard, but at least there is now a picture of it. EVGA forum thread with picture
