I'm planning to buy a new gaming pc with better performance.
I've chosen the other parts already but i have few issues regarding the motherboard & gpu.
i need to know which one to choose and which one is better and worth the price out of these,
1).msi-mpower z87
2).asus z97-A
3).msi-z87 G45 gaming
4).asus-z87-k
or is there any thing else?
I bought an i7-4770k processor so i would like to know which of those boards will perform better with that processor.

And i need to know which one to buy from R9 270 and GeForce GTX 750ti.
which one will perform better and on which motherboard.
i heard from people that i will have to go for a AMD processor if i'm choosing the R9.Is this true or can i use my intel processor?

The 2 main reasons I would choose the Asus Z97 A over the Msi Z87 M-Power or the MS Z87 G45 Gaming is because a) it is a newer Z97 motherboard which will support the next generation of CPUs also, b) it is an Asus brand mobo, IMO Asus makes the best quality mobos and I am not a fan of the MSI mobos. I typically lean towards Asus or Gigabyte for high end mobos and Asrock for the budget end. If you were looking to maybe save a few $$ you could look at the Asrock Z97 Extreme 4

Edit: Yeah, that power supply will work with the r9 270 or gtx 750 ti. It is not the greatest quality but it is passable.

The Asus Z97 A would be my choice out of those.

For the GPU, the r9 270 is more powerful by quite a bit. The only reasons to go for the gtx 750ti over the r9 270 is if you need Nvidia specific tech (physx, shadowplay) or if you have a power supply smaller than 500w. They would perform the same on any of the mobos listed there. You do not need an AMD processor to use an AMD GPU, that is pure misinformation.

What power supply do you currently have?
