The retail box is pretty straight forward, details a few specifications on the bottom left.
The back of the box is again straight forward with its design. It details the layout of board and some of its specific features.
Contents are nothing to be wowed over. The motherboard includes 4 SATA cables, I/O shield, USB 3.0 bay(with USB 3.0 header) They also include a Bluetooth/WiFi adaptor which will use up a standard USB 2.0 header. 
The board itself is actually pretty nice to look at and I personally have always felt that Intel do a nice job. It could easily be better, but none the less. I have seen a lot worse.
Here we have right side of the board which includes a nice reset and power switch and of course the 24 pin connection.
The board also has a 8 pin connection, which is pretty much the standard for an Z77 chipset.
The left side contains the nice 8 SATA connections, four of which are SATA 6Gb/s (grey and blue) and four SATA 3Gb/s
The board is loaded out with some decent connections. We have 4 USB 3.0 ports, 4 USB 2.0, Firewire, dual Gigabit LAN, BIOS recovery button, HDMI and analog audio with optical out.
Last but not least we have the PCI slots. We have 2 x PCI-E 3.0 x16/x8. 1 x PCI-E x4 slots and 2 x PCI-E x1 slot. We also have two standard PCI slots as well.
Here we have the beautiful i7-3770K processor.
The also lovely back of the processor as well. with all it’s connection point goodness.
