Hi everyone,
I have been customising my new spec, and its looking pritty hardcore at the moment! haha But I have no idea about what im doing when it comes to choosing the motherboards.
I have picked out 3, which are: (All Asus' and from PCS)
- Maximus IV Extreme-Z
- SABERTOOTH P67
- P8Z68-V PRO
Which one would be best for my spec. I plan to have a 3 monitor set up, and im unsure as to which motherboard to have.
http://www.asus.com/Compare/ This is a link to ASUS website where it shows the three different motherboards, but the information is too confusing for me. Comparison (click)
