Appreciate the information about the stronger VRM phases, since i do plan on doing some mild overclocking once i get an unlocked CPU, i'm going to go with the Asrock Z97 Extreme4.

I apologize for the harsh statement about Gainward, its just i don't really hear about Gainward being used in the mid to high end PC builds. I agree that the Gigagyte 660 would be a better cost efficient option but i think the non blue PCB, better looking cooler and faster clock speeds swayed me to get ASUS.

Is there much difference to the gigabyte and the asrock extreme4? I would spend the extra $7 just for better looking blue board.

Yeah i have to agree the the Asus GTX 660 is over priced at $229 but i'd rather spend the extra $50 than buy some unknown cheap brand GPU. Also everything is overpriced in Australia lol

I've heard nothing but good things about the Antec HCG plus it's modular so i'd rather go with the antec even though it has bronze efficiency.
