This is the first time im building a pc, i've already had all the parts mostly finalized. But, i cant seem to find any reviews on the motherboard i choose. (z97-g55) can someone recommend a z87/z97 motherboard? preferably in the $100-$150 range. And, it doesn't matter that much, but i would be nice if it was black/blue.
if it matters, my parts are:
intel core i5-4690k
msi z97-G55
evga gtx 770
corsair vengence blue
western digital black 1tb
xfx 550w or 600w
define r4 case.

-thanks

Just looking at your build, I am going to tell you that you should get a bigger PSU. But to address the question you actually asked, I would say the G55 would be just fine. Its a very nice motherboard. I personally love the looks of it myself. The only other motherboard I would suggest would be the Asus z97-A.

well, I think g55 is fine
but i personal suggest msi z97 guard pro

also, not sure if you also want to play game or not
if yes, try gaming 3 then.

The gaming 3 is really not that great. Since it says gaming in the name, does not make it quality.
