Re: azuz or gigabyte?

I will say Z77 keeping future upgrades in mind.if you haven't already bought that SB then why don't you wait and buy Ivy bridge?

yes it is a z77 chipset mobo which supports ivy bridge and also yes for your waiting.if i am right ivy bridge should be available within 1 or 2 months and you will get something about 15% performance increase at same price point of SB.
