Hi all,

It´s my first post here, I´m a complete newbie in this stuff, please be kind :)

Ok, like 2 months ago I changed my old HD5770 for a Toxic 280x, but unfortunately my CPU is a bottleneck, and makes me unable to enjoy it as I would like.

At this moment I have a QuadCore AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 955 on a GA-MA790XT-UD4P mobo.

I´m pretty sure that my next CPU will be the Haswell i5-4670k, not supported in my mobo, so the only thing to decide is which mobo I should buy.


I have read about H87 and Z87 chipsets, but I´m not sure which one fits me better, as I don´t know if I will want to OC....

I read in this forum about go for ASUS, avoiding Asrock, MSI...

So, what would you recommend? I´m checking these:

ASUS

http://www.alternate.es/ASUS/Z87-A/html/product/1092200?event=search
http://www.alternate.es/ASUS/Z87-C/html/product/1092202?event=search



ASROCK

http://www.alternate.es/ASRock/Fatal1ty-Z87-Killer/html/product/1101963?event=search


MSI

http://www.alternate.es/MSI/Z87-G43-GAMING/html/product/1080881?event=search
http://www.alternate.es/MSI/Z87-G55/html/product/1080882?event=search



My budget would be around 100-130€.

Any other info I may add, just say it. Sorry about my english grammar :)




Thanks a lot!!!!
