Hi all,

I'm compared many features between z87 motherboards, but I'm still doesn't know what to choose.
Basically I need PC for media/gaming and developing.

I already having these components:
i7 4770K with Zalman CNPS 12X - will OC to ~4/4.1;
HyperX Beast 2 x 8 GB DDR3-2400;
Asus GTX660TI-DC2OC-3GD5(maybe later with SLI);
250GB SSD.

Which one do you suggesting to buy?

Well you dont need a highend motherboard.

For a motherboard.

A mid grade motherboard will give your needs.

Like a wide range of motherboards.

ASUS z87-Pro is the best mid range board from them. Pack with extra features.

If you want to go ROG. They have also the ASUS Maximus VI Hero.
No extra fancy stuff like wireless, Bluetooth etc.

The Hero is one of the most boards used in Haswell Platform.

And your GPU is a bit mid-end. I suggest getting a 670, or 760.

The 760 is better than the 660 TI.

While the 670 is better than 760.

Hello, Thanks for answer!

I'm already thought about z87 Pro too =).

About video cards:
on asus site i see that GTX660 TI-DC2OC-3GD5 better than GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5.
660 has GDDR5 3GB, GPU BoostClock 1085, BaseClock 1006, Cuda Core 1344, MemClock 6200.
760 has GDDR5 2GB, GPU BoostClock 1072, BaseClock 1006, Cuda Core 1152, MemClock 6008.

Am i wrong or missing something?

The 760 is much much better than the 660 Ti. So 760 it is.

The 760 on other hand is much updated. And better than 660 TI in benchmarks

Yesterday saw that 660 TI will be discontinued soon, so now obviously i will go with 760, maybe later 2ble SLI with 760. In performance they almost same...
