Hello all,
I have finally decided to build my own computer. Over the past few weeks I have done plenty of research on components and have most of them laid out except for a motherboard. I have spent the past few days looking into them but find it difficult to find the right one for me. I am interested in overclocking and upgrading the tower down the road. This tower will be primarly gaming. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My current list of parts is:
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4gb
CPU: Intel I5-4690K LGA 1550
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 gb (2x4gb)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
PS: Corsair CX750
MB: ?????????
Size: ATX maybe micro ATX (depends if I buy a new atx tower or use my old micro atx one)
Right now my total cost is $668 and my budget is $800. So I have about $132 left for a mother board.
Three motherboards I am considering are the following:
MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-G55 SLI
ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A
MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 GUARD-PRO
Also having access to a lan port might be an issue occassionally since I will be moving this set up to and from college. My room doesn't have a lan port so I guess wifi would be perferable.
This doesnt matter as much but I like blue.
Thank you!
