    P8Z77-V PRO vs Maximus Gene V vs Z77X-UD5H

    Hi I'm about to buy a 3570k and want a quality motherboard that's solid/stable with decent overclocking potential. I probably won't use more than one video card and the Gene V has more than enough ports/slots for my needs, and I'm leaning towards it due to the better quality components, and the features like the superior sound, low latency lan card technology seem pretty cool. My question is would the Gene V be more stable than the P8Z77-V Pro?? I've also heard the gigabyte Z77Z UD5H is a good board, I've read up so many reviews but I'm still confused, I'm learning towards the Gene V but I'm not sure if it's a gimmick board and if it'd be better than the other 2? Any suggestions would be great!

    I am not a skilled overclocker so the thng that has impressed me about the Gene is that it seems very forgiving and, if you leave them turned on, has features that just take you back a step when the attempt fails. Easily the best board I have ever owned. Brilliant with ram too.

    Can't comment on the others.

    If you dont need PCI or the extra pcie slots get the Gene V for definite. ROG features and overclocking, better onboard audio and roughly the same price.
