Hi guys,
I would like to know what is the best motherboard i can buy for £120, my choice of CPU its the i5 4690K, and i'm willing to go for 16Gb (2x8Gb) that i also need a little help with that... about the motherboard i saw this 3:

MSI Z97 Gaming 5
AsRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5

is any of this 3 really good for that cpu? i wanna go for 2xR9 280X or 2xR9 290 also..

in the RAM department i want 16Gb but i want to decide if i go with the Corsair Vengeance Pro or the Patriot Viper 3, because the corsair its £123 and the Patriot are £106.. that's a lot in different and does it make up that much performance?

All 3 of those motherboards are capable of overclocking that i5 very well. Which you choose is really up to you and what you need. I, personally, would would go for the MSI or the Gigabyte, as their quality can be higher than ASRock (Not saying that ASrock is bad, but they tend to be the cheapest.)

If the specs of the ram are identical (same speed) go for the cheaper one. No sense in paying more for the same thing.
