Z77 sabertooth Vs P8Z77V Pro/Thunderbolt? Which one?

[niklad]

Hi guys,

Wonder if I can get some feedback from the community. I'm considering buying a system with a core 7 3770 processor and geforce 670/680 graphics card. I'm torn between the above two motherboard and need some help on which to get. They are both roughly the same price so price isnt the issue.

I like the Sabertooth due to its multiple USB ports, having 12 in total (front and back), the thermal armour is also good (though probably a gimmick)

The P8Z77V Pro/Thunderbolt has less USB ports but does have wifi and a thunderbolt connector (useless at the moment, but who knows if it'll catch on)

I don't currently plan to do any overclocking, but wouldn't rule it out in the future.

Which motherboard do you own and which of these two would you recommend? All advice much appreciated!

Thanks

Nik

you'd probably be fine with the lesser p8z77 v mobo.

But out of the two, i'd go for the sabertooth, as i like the motherboard cooling features.
