Need some information about motherboard brands

Amr Mansour · Jul 5, 2014

I'm tending to build a new computer and I've no experience about the hardware in general "unfortunately" and when I tried to gain some information from the internet all I gain is getting confusing and things became more vague

..... so all i've figure out is I'm liked (Intel Core i7-4930K 6-Core 3.40GHz) processor and I knew the compatible motherboards but I need to know the best of the like which is better Asus , MSI, Asrock, Gigabyte ......etc and why it's better and which cooling system should I have and power supply which give me a good quality with a reasonable price and that is all

thanks..

What are you planning on using the comp for? Have you considered one of the new Z97 boards? The i7-4930 CPU is for an older LGA 2011 socket (X79) board.

Stick with asrock, gigabyte or asus boards. I stay away from msi. Poor QC. Gigabyte uses more metal in their boards and is more durable and can handle heat better usually.

I like this board. GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming 5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128709

And either of these CPUs would do really well.

Intel Core i7-4790K
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117369

Intel Core i5-4690K
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372

The new Z97 boards have the new Sata Express and the M.2 sockets. Might as well future proof your self some.

If you're not OCing the CPU you can just use the stock cooler but I would recomend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It is an excellant cooler and can keep over clocked CPUs cooled very well.

If you want to spend a little more, the CORSAIR Hydro Series H90 water cooler is a great choice.

For peace of mind I would get at least an 800 watt PSU. You're probably gonna need a GPU too. I would get at least a GTX 760ti or a Radeon R9 270.

thanks i appreciate it a lot for ur info

and one last question that i heard alot that asus is the best in motherboards manufacturing what do u say about that and if so what model do u recommend for me

Asus is good. I just pick between asus, gigabyte and asrock depending on what options I want or need. I slightly favor gigabyte because they are very dependable. Gigabyte uses more metal in their boards than other manufacturers. Can stand more heat, etc.

I only build on the same three brands, and for z87 found Asus to be the creme of the crops and it appears to be the same w/ the Z97 mobos also, I have the Z97 Hero in progress and have buil on the Z97-A, Pro and WS all are better than the Z87s were...Tend to OC better, handle DRAM better, run cooler and have a more comprehensive BIOS...Depending on budget would look at the A, Pro or Hero
