Maximus IV Extreme for its hard build quality.
If you lower your budget then P8Z68 V PRO is a good option.

Maximus IV Extreme is a P67 board. IMO you should look for Z68 boards.
Maximus IV GENE-Z is a very good board if you are a heavy OCer.
P8Z68-V PRO will provide you a total overall solution as it has inbuilt Wifi and many display ports unlike Maximus IV GENE-Z. Also it has 3*PCIe slots where as the Maximus IV GENE-Z has only 2 PCIe slots.

If you are talking about Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z then its quite good.

IF budget is no problem then wait for ASUS MAXIMUS EXTREME Z (z68) to arrive in Indian market.

I thought that Asus already released maximus extreme z in Indian retail market. was wrong:cry:

Oh, than, anyway, congrats. But still, Z 8 V-DELUXE is no match for ExtremeIV-Z.
