I'm upgrading my CPU and because my old board doesn't support the new 1150 CPUs I have to
upgrade that as well.

I'm getting a i5 4670K and want to be able to overclock it a bit as well.

I've looked at the 77 Extreme 4 which seems to be getting decent reviews.

Is there a board better for around the same price?
