There is a Great combo for i5 4670k and extreme6 300$ for both on newegg. Wondering if its worth it.. Kinda on budget. The highest I would go would be the Maximus vi hero or mpower(not max) I won't be doing much oc because this is my first build so I will just be getting introduced to it. I do however want a quality board that will stand the test of time and will run games great. This will be primarily a gaming PC. Keep in mind the most MOST I would want to spend would be 230$ on motherboard. I have a black and red color scheme but that's a minor issue.

I5 4670k....... Thats All I have so far.. opinions on where to go from here with this build are welcomed.

Thank you
 
At that price there's no way I'd do anything else. Love my extreme4 (was a combo at microcenter). The 6 has more connectivity and may be full atx - can't remember. It will game as well as any other board and get respectable overclocks.

Happy building!

The EX6 is a good choice, but with first build and all, + 4670K might look at the Rock Z87 Extreme 4, quite a bit less and will prob give you all you want and then some, could apply the difference (savings) into a better GPU, DRAM, SSD or whatever. I picked up the Z77 EX4 as a play board and ended up keeping it
