Spend 900 bucks more and get Intel DZ68DB.

Thanks harshilsharma63,
I checked on Intel site and have two concerns:
1.my gpu is PCI e 3.0 compatible and this only has 2.0.
2. Ram support is 1333/1066. Will it work my gskill 1600 ram

it is backward compatible. so dont worry.

2. Ram support is 1333/1066. Will it work my gskill 1600 ram

the ram will automatically downclock to 1333mhz. so dont worry again.

how much flexible is your budget?? have a look at Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3 and Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H

I can go up to 7k....if OC is not the priority which one will be best value for money.

Thanks for your suggestion
