Dear community,
I am upgrading my pc and I am wondering what Z97 motherboard I should get. I live in the Netherlands and my budget is ~€140 max.
Coming upgrades:
-i7 4790k
-scythe mugen max
-r9 290 tri-x sapphire
-crucial ballistix tactical 8gb (cl 8)
Building in an Antec 900. I also already have a seasonic m12ii 850, a HD and a soundcard. I'm playing on 1920x1200 and especially want to get the most out of games. This rig should be future-proof for another ~5 years. Possibly later, when the price of 4k monitors will drop, I want to put in a second GPU, so my motherboard should be able to support that. I also want to overclock the GPU/CPU.
These are my current options:
-Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5
-MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming
The rog m7 ranger was also on my list, but I guess it's overpriced compared to the Gigabyte board?
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
