I have i5 3570K and EVGA GTX780, RAM 1866, is this MOBO comptiable? can it overclock RAM+ CPU?

I'm not sure but check Google how overclock there are good pcmsg review abuot that. and be careful and make sure. you keep it cold. it's life saving.

No, it is not compatible with the 3570K. You will want the Z77 version instead of the Z87. As for overclocking this board performs quite well.

It should work fine, but it will be clocked down to 1333. On that board, you really don't need memory with big heatsinks like this if it's going to underclock, anyway; you might as well save yourself a little money and buy a couple of these: Kingston Value RAM 4GB 1333MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM SR x8 Desktop Memory (KVR13N9S8/4)

yes you can. I am currently running 64gb on my Rampage 4 Extreme mobo. Just make sure your CPU can also handle 64gb of Ram.
1267634
you can but since you have no vcore control you cant oc higher than 4.3GHz. you need vcore control so I recommend z77x-ud3h I have the ud5h and they aren't too expensive but they are very good quality. since this is my fianc's account I gave her the board but i'm a guy who likes tweaking so I got an higher board. if the prices are too high here just go to ebay. you will get a good one for around $150 or lower which means you save about $50 or more. Make sure you have a unlocked cpu as I have the i5-3570k and i'm now at 5.0GHz but locked cpu's can only be oc'ed to there turbo speed. thanks for listening. Mark. if you have anymore questions ask and my fianc will let me know or you can find me on overclock.net at: http://www.overclock.net/u/372327/djthrottleboi

Are you confusing ddr3 RAM with the memory on the video card...? 'Probably no conflict there. Appears to be pci-e, so the two should be compatible. Z77 has advanced to at least Z87 now, and this mobo is a little flaky (sometimes failing to detect usb add-on cards and coming up without the drivers loaded). Onboard usb is flaky too. Get a newer board, unless you have a CPU only good for Z77.

This board is for the CPU socket LGA1155, that only Supports 2nd 3rd Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron Processors. If you can match the CPU socket with those 3rd Gen CPU, you'll have a great stable mobo. I have mine since Ivy Bridge started and now even a BSOD.... Not a single one.... Ever. You can have your 2500k CPU to work with it but with 3rd Gen prices, I'll strongly suggest that, if you're not in a budget, get a 3rd Gen CPU.

Probably yes. However, depends of your motherboard. Make sure that your BIOS is able to set the exactly timings of this RAM and hold the OC (technically this is a 1600Mhz running from factory @2133, so, your mobo must be good), otherwise you will have blue screen of death all the time.

Absolutely, I just finished building my rig with this mobo and the i7 4790k. Just put all the stuff together then power up.

No not really, but the MOBO works great with my 8 gigs of Corsair Vengence ram at 1866. It also depends on the performance you are trying to reach

according to pcpartpicker dot com it is. This motherboard is built for overclocking so you would be happier with an ulocked chip but if you have an i7-3770 it would work per pcpartpicker dot com. I use this mobo with an i5-4670k and I am happy with it.

Mine works great with it and I have overclocked. The board is a beast and I have had nothing but a positive experience with it.

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).

Well, this RAM is pretty, is fast, reliable and very good looking. You can always overclock it higher than 1600mhz and adjust the voltage to 1.65v. You will get excellent speeds with this ram. If it's right or no, it depends if you want to pay for higher speed ram and more build quality and features.

This mobo -> 4ta generation socket 1150 (Haswell) i5-3570k -> 3ra generation socket 1155 (Ivy Bridge)NOT COMPATIBLE!!!

Yes. And the included mobo utilities disk has: Smart Quick Boost provides users with different levels of CPU frequencies to choose to achieve desired system performance." Advanced CPU OC allows users to set CPU base clock, frequency, and voltages, and integrated graphics frequency. Advanced DDR OC allows users to set the memory clock. 3D Power allows users to change power phase, voltage, and frequency settings." Per: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4955#ov I did not put a "K" chip in it, so could not overclock with this board, but it has made a very nice entry-level Adobe workstation so far teamed with a full-power (84w) i5 4590. This little mobo reeks of high Gigabyte quality. I wish I could have OC'd on it to set the matter straight, but Gigabyte's AppCenter is included for the sole purpose of clocking, so there you go.

This motherboard can hold up to 1600mhz ram. But im almost certain you can overclock it higher than that. It can also fit in both of those cases. I put this motherboard into a similar mid tower case. The Bitfenix Shinobi case. Fits very nicely

Kip answered already, also, be sure to get lots of RAM and a couple of top notch NVIDIA video cards for SLI (Scalable Link Interface)- then it's a gaming MoBo :-)I maxed mine out with 64 G of RAM
