Hi guys,

I already searched a lot within this forum and google before making this thread but I am still confused about a few things.

I am not interested in overclocking, I may (still not sure though) be interested in SLI and using a SSD in the future but I don't need wifi or bluetooth as LAN works just fine to me.

The build I'm thinking of is:

CPU - Intel Core i5-4670
Memory - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Video Card - Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB

What do you think would be the best option? In my local shop there are quite a few cards with a competitive price which are

ASRock H87 PRO4
ASRock Z87 Pro4
ASUS H87-PRO
GIGABYTE GA-Z87P-D3
msi H87-G43

I would really appreciate your suggestions =)

I would recommend the H87 Pro4 by ASRock, if you don't want to SLI or overclock as both Z87 and H87 are very good boards still. Th Asus would be my second choice but if budget is an issue going for the ASRock H87 would be the best choice, difference between the Z87 and H87 isn't worth the price difference, you might as well spend the extra on something that does a noticeable performance difference like a graphics card.

I would go for the Z87 selections, Out of the Gigabyte and ASRock, both are very good boards but I would only go for which is cheaper. ASRock is very high quality but the Gigabyte one has more PCI-E slots, both boards have the same amount of PCI-E x16 slots, Great for having crossfire or SLI later on. I'd get whichever is cheaper but if both a similar price, The Gigabyte one would be my option.
