Hey guys,

I am currently deciding which motherboard to get. There are so many of them and I simply don't know which one to pick up. I am gonna be getting the 4790k which is LGA115. Can you guys please suggest some good motherboards for me?

If a single GPU motherboard is what you're looking for try the Gigabyte GA Z87X-D3H. This is a Socket LGA1150 Motherboard, as you specified.

It only carries one Graphics Card slot (so no SLI) but it is a robust, well-built, durable motherboard (difficult to damage during installation!) and it features a self-recovering BIOS, which reduces the risk of BIOS corruption and pesky BIOS reflashing.

I've been running one for 6 months now and am very pleased with it. It also features a higher-than-average number of USB Slots.

I'm getting the i7 4790k not the 4690k. Also, I have a budget of up to $250. I don't really want to go in the $300 range.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I have one GPU. I don't plan on doing SLI anytime soon so I will definitely take a look at this. Still, anyone else that has suggestions let me know.

One of the reviews says it has no true OC abilities. Which is a turn off as I plan to overclock the 4790k as much as possible. What do you think about this?

Correction about the GA Z87X-D3H... it is indeed SLI-capable with a second GPU in the PCIe x16 8-speed PCIe 3.0 slot. That's another nice feature about this MoBo - the PCIe x16 slots are 3.0 so it's futureproofed for newer Graphics Cards over the coming years.
