Hi there
I'm about to build my own computer, but I ran into trouble when I was checking out my motherboard. I am going to get an i7 4770K cooled by a Coolmaster Hyper 212 Evo. I am hoping to overclock this eventually to 4-4.5ghz. I am also going to get a Gigabyte GTX770 along with 16gb of 1600mhz ram. The motherboard I originally went with was the Asus Z87-C, since it seemed pretty good for the price. However, looking at some online reviews told me that apparently it is not a very good motherboard after all, especially to overclock with. I have found some alternatives, but I'm not sure which one to go with.
Original:
Asus Z87-C - $145
Alternatives:
Asus Z87-A - $210
AsRock Z87-PRO4 - $139
AsRock Z87-EXTREME4 - $184
MSI Z-87 G45 - $195
I am looking for the best price/performance ratio, and I am happy to pay a bit more if the performance if significantly better. So if anyone could help with this, it'd be great!
Oh, since I live in Australia, I am buying all my parts from http://www.umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=2 if that helps with price comparisons.
Thanks for your help!
