This would be my first build and I wanted to use the 750 ti. I need help choosing the motherboard so any recommendations would be helpful but any advice on the build would be greatly appreciated

How much are you looking to spend on a board, other wise an H81-C/CSM should do fine if youre looking for cost its just a basic board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

if youre looking for a little more high tec go for a z87-k http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Can't do much without asking you this: What's your budget for a motherboard?

EDIT: Bah, mathieub beat me to it. Good luck :)

If you get a microatx motherboard, you could get a smaller case. You don't need that giant (and expensive) case, unless you want to spend that much for looks. Look into the Bitfenix prodigy M case.

For a motherboard I would recommend the Asus Z87M Plus.


Also, if you're trying to save money, it might be a better idea to get AMD instead of Intel. For the same price as the i3 you get get an FX6300 which will greatly improve gaming performance.

well, just about any mobo that is compatible is fine, cuz if you dont overclock then the mobo doesnt matter much. however, try to get either asus, gigabyte, asrock, or msi. biostar can be ok, but dont go for the super cheap ones.

Both mobos I listed are fine, I use them in builds all the time at my shop.
