I got a little more money so...

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Motherboards I got a little more money so...

Word :    Username :           
 

I got a little more money from my parents, so I can upgrade my mobo.

What I'm thinking is should I:
-stay with the asrock z68 extreme3 (that I'm about to order) and save some money
-spend a little more money for the maximus iv gene-z
-spend a little more money for the asrock z68 extreme4

The asus p8z68 is a little too much for me still...
so what do you think i should do :) ?

Thanks!

Well, I asked for info, so we can recommend matching components.

OK, @ Frys u can get the mobo as well.

They will match Newegg+Amazon+http://us.ncix.com/

BTW, what is the location for your Frys? Mine is Phoenix.

If something is wrong with the mobo, than local store swap is better and faster than shipp RMA back to Newegg : )
