The Board is, as expected, great! In my view (I'm opportunity hobbyists): Positives: Quality, price, fit, bios to use with mouse, update options. Negative (if you can call it that): Z 77 Chipset with heatsink with no fan, only 2x 6GB SATA ports (in the future will be sure need more, but totally ok for the price.), USB 3.0 worked only after update from the ASUS page (maybe that's also normal ) should only knowledge. All in all 4 points.
