A little advice on a mobo.

HeptTech · Jul 15, 2014

Hi,
I need some recommendations on a motherboard. As far as specs goes:
i5 4670k or maybe the new 4920k(not sure if thats right).
EVGA supernova 750w
R9 290 sapphire vapor-x
G-skill 8gb sniper series memory
Hyper 212 EVO

I need a motherboard that can overclock reasonably well. I sticking to 1 video card, so no sli support. I prefer ATX. Ive seen some nice ASrock boards but just wanted some more opinions.

Tom's - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mainstream-gaming-z97-motherboard,3824.html - ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 (or Asus Z97-A)

Any z97 board would be perfect. Just about everyone of them is well made and can handle OC as well as it'll have support for future CPUs (Broadwell I believe)

I guess gaming is the main use. When i was searching to get my gaming mobo after lots of hours digging and searching, i went for MSi gaming 7. Its personal preference and superstition on what firm to get or not to. Some people say for example that msi are terrible or asrock is bad etc...

Look at reviews eg Tom's (link above)

Guessing the 4920K mentioned is suppose to be the 4930K and if so, need to decide on CPU first as it's a CPU for a different socket that the 4670K which is a 1150 socket mobo, the 4930K is for socket 2011 motherboards. For the 4670K I'd go the Asus Z87-A or better the Asus Z87 Hero (mine in sig, great mobo as is the newer version the Z97 (either the A or the Hero which would provide for updating to the Broadwell CPUs when they arrive)...for the 4930K I'd suggest the Asus X79 Deluxe
