Which of those is better? And what about compared to the ASRock Z77 E6? Looks like the ASRock is the favorite according to Newegg. People only have issues with the ASUS it seems.

Alrighty, so right now I'm waiting for Sunday's sales (if any), but I'm currently sitting with a total of $390.08 shipped for just the combo (one new, one open box) or $416.99 shipped for the combo and 8GB RAM (all new). Still figuring out whether or not a private transaction will take place...

Any idea how long that deal lasts? I'm holding out until Sunday for potential deals, but I could use some new RAM. I wanted 16GB cause I have 8GB now, but I guess 8 isn't bad.

Like Jack1n said, the 4GB is useless unless you're running a multi-monitor setup. I also recommend considering 16GB of RAM if you have the money. 8GB is currently the standard it seems, but there's nothing wrong with preparing for the future. Otherwise, solid build regardless of your use...
