    Asus K7M - southbridge chip failed. Asus refused to replace under warranty claiming that installation by end-user violated the terms of the warranty.
    Asus K7V-266 - misc failures across 4 boards
    Asus K8V-X - wouldn't post with IDE harddrives connected. Asus tech support blamed harddrives, PSU, IDE cables, case, optical drives, chipset drivers. Finally ended with Asus voiding the warranty when I refused to accept their excuses and demanded an RMA.
    Asus P7P55D-E LX - was an Asus refurb/recert board. was physically warped and never stable.

    That's my history with Asus motherboards. Similar history with Gigabyte....

    That was 10 years ago dude....admittedly I've had a couple of ASUS boards die early, but when they work, they work well.... :nerd:

    The P7P55D-E LX was less than 2 years ago as it's an LGA1156 board.

    It'll be the ASrock Z87 Extreme 4 that you'll need. Good luck with your new build.

    Guys how about the MSI Z87-GD65? It's more expensive but I preferred that over the Extreme4 due to the digital power delivery system (vs. analog on the ASRock).

    Used that board for a friend's recent build.

    The Extreme4's analog system isn't really worth worrying about because it performs well in practice. Theoretically the mosfets could become a problem during extreme overclocks (their design means they can get quite hot), but it's not really worth worrying about.

    Then 16Gb shouldn't hurt if you can fork over some extra cash. Kingston Hyper X is good ram from what I have heard.

    Anas, I have Kingston Hyper X ram, and I don't have any issues with it.
