Hi Guys!
I'm building a new PC (i7 4770k (possibly i5, but definetely Haswell) with Hyper 212 EVO, GTX 770, 16GB 1866) for Gaming/Gameplay Capturing/Video Editing. I'm fairly new at building PC's and don't want to overclock until down the road a little. I need some help with Motherboards.
I've been planning on this Motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131989
I researched up on it, however, and learned the Maximus ROG MOBOs are designed for extreme overclocking.
As I said I'm new to this and might overclock a tad down the road, but I'm not pushing for any EXTREME overclocking... I'd probably push it to around 4 ghz, maybe a LITTLE higher...
I know I want the board to have 6 SATA III (2 HDD, 2 SSD, and room for more), 2 (though 4 would be nice) USB 3.0 ports, and 2 PCI Express 3.0 ports (16/0; 8/8; or maybe if 16/16 exists) for SLI down the road. I think the only component I'd overclock is the CPU, but the flexibility to OC others wouldn't hurt.
Here is a board that I saw with a much more appealing price tag, but if you could recommend anything better that'd be great:
