Hi all,
I'm planning making a new build and I have the 4790k in mind. I've been looking for some decently priced motherboards for the Z97 chips and I've decided on the MSI Gaming 5. It's reasonably priced and I thought it looks like a buy. I do plan on gaming, I won't be overclocking as of now but I will in the future, and I will be focusing on rendering and animation productivity as well. Does anyone else think this will be a good board for my needs? If there's any recommendations I'll be glad to hear them. Thanks!
