I have been gifted an i5 4670K cpu and have little knowledge on what kind of MOBO to get. They said that the 4670K was cheaper than the regular one on the day they bought it. I do not plan on OCing, but I am getting a GTX770 for a video card.

I will be mainly using this computer for gaming and would like it to last more than a few years.

Could I get some suggestions on the build I should make under $700? Excluding monitor, OS, mouse and keyboard? Thanks.

ASUS does make great motherboards, lowest I would recommend going with is the Z87-PLUS

I would recommend getting a Z87 board to go with th 4670k, just in case. Recommendations would be ASUS Maximus VI Hero, ASRock Z87 Extreme4 or 6, MSI Z87-GD43/45, or one of the Gigabyte Z87 boards. But seeing as you cut the CPU costs from your budget, you could likely pair it with a GTX 780 or a r9 290.

The asrock board mentioned above is a pretty good option.

Just make sure whatever board you go for, you get the correct socket.

LGA 1150 is what you need for that cpu I THINK!

Yess, I do need the LGA 1150, but I can't decide which motherboard to get.

I was looking into the Asus z87 boards. I just don't know which one. I'm sticking with a NVIDIA GTX770 because I don't really play that much of an intensive game as of now, but maybe I will in the future.


Does anybody have full builds they can suggest with prices?

This is probably the best I could do using quality parts.

SSD is optional, and would bring the cost down ~$100.
