The top-end i7-4790K with a cheap low-end $70 motherboard combination is a bad idea. If you're going to spend that much for the CPU, spend the money for a quality motherboard for overclocking it. Otherwise, drop the i7-4690K and get something cheaper to balance out your budget allocation.

Yeah I agree.. You dont buy a Ferrari engine and put it in a Prius. Like ksham said, downgrade to a 4690k and get a Gigabyte, Asus or MSI board. I suggest Gigabyte right now because Asus still needs to fix that BIOS clock problem..

That's also a bad idea. You're going to spend $70 temporarily and then another $130 for a better motherboard? Sounds like a waste of money.

Spend an extra $10 for an ASRock Z97 Extreme3.
