I've been using Gigabyte motherboards for about 8 years now and have found them to be very reliable indeed.

Here is a selection of Gigabyte Z77 LGA1155 socket boards for you to compare.  The GA-Z77X-UD5H looks quite impressive and is packed with features, but I'm sure any one of the selection would more than adequately suit your needs.

Hope this helps.

I have been upgrading my gaming rig two or three weeks ago with Core i5 3570K and Gigabyte 670GTX with 4GB RAM (for large texture pool games like Arma 2), and I had to chose a new board as well. 

I bought the GigaByte Z77-D3H, and let me tell you, it was awful-to-horrible. The BIOS was a mess, the whole board system was unstable on stock clock values of the components - RAM errors, blue screens, restarts. It was the 1.0 rev though, 1.1 has larger secondary PSU connector (8 pin instead of 4 pin), so power stability might be an issue, but I have returned the board to the vendor. 

I replaced it with Asrock Extreme 4, and it's much better - the BIOS is very nice, the system rock stable, the overclocking options much more logical and consistent.

Having problems with Gigabyte 8800 GT in the past (revision with bad memory, some games did not run at all), I am not that impressed with Gigabyte Hardware. Asus may be a better choice overall.

Just one word of warning I learned the hard way - the new chipsets boot to UEFI by default, and it is probably wise to install the new OS on UEFI an partition, since the good old BIOS is being phased out. There is a nasty bug in Windows 7 64bit that causes the boot sequence to hang if you have a SINGLE hard disk connected that is still MBR (not GPT) containing an extended partition with logical partitions. What I had to do was to install on a clean GPT formatted disk, then backup all my important files, reformat all the old disks from MBR to GPT (the disk must be empty to do so), and move the data back from the storage. I spent two days with this tedious cleanup, so BEWARE!

Your logic has received a serious bump in the head somewhere on the way. The board had every feature I wanted, the reviews I encountered mentioned no problems for the 1.1 rev. I did not even know the supplier would deliver the old 1.0, maybe the 1.1 would be without problems. Since crossfire is irrelevant, I don't know why you even mention it.

Contrary to your advise, I would not spend heaploads of money on the boards, especially if you don't overclock, because all the extra price often goes to features like fine voltage setting for OC or extra ports you won't need anyway. 

A cheap board that is stable and does not have cheap condensers that will leak under heat is often quite okay, since the performance differences are minimal. I had numerous cheap boards in the past with no problems. 

If you conserve your funds, you can get more performance from the memory/CPU/GPU configuration, and more performance also means greater longevity.

A stable, well-manufactured PSU, on the other hand, is a good investment. PSU lasts longer, due to chipset changes you have to throw out the old MOBO with each CPU upgrade anyway.

I have an MSI 970A-G46 and it has a UEFI Bios. Comes with an app that allows access to the bios from inside Windows too!!

I hear good things about MSI.

Yes but i dont have one at my Home pc, The technologie itself is still on new ground ( PC ) but we have 2 chained at work.
The thing is that the upgrade for a new board and the thunderbolt drive itself is still quite expansive and have the standpoint of a freshly released ssd what doesnt make it worth ( at least for myself atm ) while i do plan on upgrading my board as sson as the prices drop a little.
So i would say if you got the money it doesnt hurt to invest in a board that supports it. 

Hey Anthony, nice choice.   Coupled with the 3770k you should be quite happy with that mobo choice an enjoy many years of speedy and reliable computing.

With this board I was thinking of setting up a dual boot 'hackintosh' and win7 setup.

I got the Black Pearl.. its really the nicest case I've ever seen. Most cases from Corsair, Roswell, and Antec look like Mattel toys for kids. The Fractal Design is built for a real rig.

@OP:

Choice of MoBo depends a lot on what you want that PC to be capable of and what your budget is. Like, you specify you want 32 Gigs Ram, which tells me you do more than just gaming, browsing, googling, etc. So...yeah

This might be my next case...... Corsair Obsidian 900D

Put bluntly, it's a monster of a case, just take a look at the link and you'll see what I mean.
