A Genuine Intel Mobo

So T_Ski is selling a combo deal with a 3770k with this mobo Intel DZ77GA-70K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121605 ... The reviews look pretty bad... I want the combo really badly but is it worth it with that mobo? How's Intel's RMA? I need comments & concerns. Gonna be SLI'ng eventually, maybe OC'ng

Well, I can vouch for T_Ski. He's a great trader (and his heat reflects it). He wouldn't put up crap and try and sell it. That said, I have an Intel Z68 board myself, and while it's a little slow on the boot and finicky about RAM (I can't mix and match pairs of RAM - something you shouldn't be doing anyways, but it would be a nice bonus), it's a solid board. Intel mobo's are generally solid boards. What they lack in features they make up for in durability, in my opinion.

I'm just worried about the RMA foremost. I like the uefi bios, really all I need. But those reviews on the board are pretty bad :/. How's the heat, people are saying the HS's are pretty bad too
