So the MC I'm getting my CPU/MB from (Friday!) is out of the ASRock Extreme4 and I'm trying to decide on a new choice.
I noticed my current 3 options have all the features I need and more, but varying power delivery. How important is it to OCing, and is there a point where you just don't get much more benefit to price?
What I'm looking at:
$140 Asus P8Z77-V LK (4+1+1)
$135 Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H (6+4)
$170 MSI Z77A-GD65 (8+1+2+1)
I really like the MSI but its kind of hard to justify the higher price, so I'm leaning toward the Gigabyte (yeah bad RMA, I know).
*Edit - Think I found a solution to my dilemma, there is another MC about 10min further away that has the Extreme4 which is (8+4) and $135 for comparison.
Question still stands about importance to OCing though...
