Hello! im in the process of building my first build, and i cant decide between three motherboard. i need something that will let me upgrade later to a new processor, also excellent when it comes to overclocking, and features too, such as, Bluetooth and connectivity for devices. my choices are:

ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3
ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb...

ASRock Z68 PROFESSIONAL GEN3
ASRock Z68 PROFESSIONAL GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HD...

ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3
ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI S...

i really like the Pro version of ASRock, it got great reviews. the Extreme 7 is out of te contest because of the bad reviews on newegg stating DOA and problems with it. but i also like the ASUS.
But I don't really trust newest reviews that much, what do you think? Is the extreme a better motherboard overall?

ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 and ASRock Z68 PROFESSIONAL GEN3 don't have much difference. They are both good mobo. I prefer to choose ASRock Pro. Also this one is cheaper.

I just thought to share this one
