Hello, i'm building budget gaming Pc, and i so decided to get ASRock Z77 EXTREME4-M instead of ASRock Z77 EXTREME4. The ( -M ) version costs 30$ less and that's ALOT in my country. And i just can't seem to find the difference between these two boards, what do you people think about this motherboard? Maybe theres something else that you might suggest. Early thanks, sorry if it's the wrong section.

Hi Brokas, Reading the specs ASRock > Z77 Extreme4-M The only difference appears to be the form factor ,the M being micro atx and the extreme being standard atx ;)

You might want to note that with a matx you won't have much room for improvement in the future, so that bigger board might be a better investment in the future if you decide to upgrade.

Just a thought! C:

Yeah, i might just use it for a start 1 Year or something, then upgrade to something better.

That's what I mean..

Buy the non -m version. That way you can save all that money in a year when you decide to upgrade.
