MSI Z77A-GD55 @ TechGage
“If you’re looking for a good Z77 motherboard to pair up with that shiny Ivy Bridge CPU but don’t want to break the bank, MSI’s Z77A-GD55 is well worth a look.

Gigabyte B75M-D3H @ TechPowerUp
“Gigabyte sent me one of their entry-level products to check out, called the B75M-D3H. Yet make no mistake, just because this product is value-oriented, does not mean it by any means cheap! What makes Gigabyte’s B75M-D3H so great? We’ll find out in our review.”
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H WiFi @ HardwareLook
“Ivy Bridge is now available for the consumer market and people are starting to consider upgrading their processors, and with that they need to upgrade their motherboard model also. However, there are still the vast majority that can’t afford to upgrade their CPU, or perhaps they just like there I7-2600K and don’t wish to part with it just yet.”
ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE @ TechGage
“Want a motherboard that won’t have you wishing you chose differently? There are plenty of reasons why ASUS’ P8Z77-V DELUXE deserves your consideration. It’s a feature-packed board that gives you everything you’d hope for in a motherboard – and then throws in some extra for good measure.”

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H @ TBreak
“The Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H is an entry-level motherboard that ticks most of the checkboxes required for a modern gaming rig. Being based on the latest Z77 chipset we get the benefit of USB 3.0 ports, PCIe 3.0 and Lucid Virtu MVP performance. Oh and all compatible memory sticks will boot up with 1600MHz, not forced down 1333MHz like with Sandy Bridge CPUs.”
