I'm building my very first computer. what kind of motherboard would you guys suggest.
I'm getting
Radeon R9 280X
Intel Core i5-4690K
if you have other part suggestion, I'm here to listen and learn. thanks
 
Solution
I'd go the Z97-A from Asus, great pairing with your CPU, reasonable price and open to future upgrades with the Broadwell CPUs when they arrive down the road

well, I do using the new z97 msi gaming 5 though
but my cpu is only i5 4440
so you may want to try either msi gaming 5 or gaming 7

the new z97 msi motherboards , got really good spec and audio(like lots usb 3.0, sata, m.2 and gaming spec)
so far, i havent get any problem with it,

but ... what's your budget?? XD
