Z77, so what do we think lads?

Looks cool and handy, but anyone who is with z68 atm, would not even need to bother of upgrading, but maybe for new systems? If price is right ofc. what you think lads?

this looks like a good alternative to z68 extreme3 gen3 for 10eu extra.

If I end up upgrading to Ivy, I'd go for Z77. Just, well, 'cos. If Z68 prices take a dive, then I'll give Z68 a look again, but they're pretty similar. A few tweaks here and there, but close enough. The one thing that might sway me to Z68 is that we already know from experience what boards and manufacturers to go for in terms of reliability, etc. which we have yet to see with Z77.

I'm happy with my Z68 Asus and 2500k Sandybridge. My next upgrade will be a second 570 for SLI and the then I'm sorted for a few years. I might consider a Haswell upgrade if it's amazing.

That board is probably worth it, Z77 and USB3 headers for a tenner.
