After a week or two of using this board I must confess that I love it. I bought it to replace a MSI Z77A-GD55 that simply disappointed me. Although the MSI board was a little cheaper, used Intel for the network controller and on the surface looked to be a great board I must say this ASUS P8Z77-V LE Plus is by far the better board... The P8Z77-V LE Plus feels grown up in all aspects that us gamers/enthusiasts care about.
There's a lot of ports on this board, overclocking is easily achieved with the easy to use UEFI bios and included Asus AI software. Only complaint would be that the LAN drivers were not picked up automatically by Windows. Price would be a con if not picked up as a bundle, but would still recommend for those looking for a good board.

as per the Cons, I had to install the lan drivers from CD prior to going on line an downloading the newer ones, sadly the instillation app on the disk is over run by bugs, its useless, however when I browsed the disk and ran the executables for the lan drivers with out the useless installer everything worked fine. probably better to do that anyway as its going to tack on some bloatware if you click "install all" tool bars, and i think it was showing a random AV app also.
I like this motherboard, It's been working fine and stable so far. The UEFI Bios is nice to use. It has a total of 8 sata ports, 1 being eSata and 4 are sata3. The installation was easy, the manual has detailed instructions. 4 sata cables are included, all have an angled extremity and 2 are sata3 cables, which is nice. I'm using with the i5-3570k and G.Skill 8 GB RAM. I got it pricematched and still it could have been $20 cheaper. There was a bug when Intel EIST wasn't working after an overclock but it's working now.
