Asus Z77-A Motherboard

If you want an Intel based motherboard that gives you the most bang for your buck, the crew at eTeknix say the Asus Z77-A motherboard might be just what you need. Whilst the more expensive -V model had a very rich set of features that covered all grounds for someone that was upgrading their motherboard, both on compatibility and future proofing, the slightly lower spec board does (as expected) drop a few features - including HDMI.
