Hello!

I'm looking for a mobo to overclock the G3258. Now, keep in mind that I want to keep this CPU one year or two at most and the upgrade to i5 / i7 Broadwell. Is this Z97M Pro4 by ASRock any good ? Does anyone have it ? Do ou think I'll be able to get good oc on this mobo ? Something like 4.4 GHz on the G3258 ? And will it still be good in future ?

Oh yeah, and I've read on mobo's specifications page that it has 2 Chassis fan connectors. Does that means that I'll be able to connect only 2 fans ?
And also, do you think with that CPU oc at ... let say over 4 Ghz I'll get good FPS in games paired with a R9 270 ? I know that newer games require more cores but from what I've read these 2 cores are very fast and you can stil get very good results in games. I intend to play at 1920x1080 if that helps in any way. Do you think games like GTA V, Witcher 3, AC: Unity will work well on this Pentium ?

Sweet little mobo, and yes good for OCing, you can add additional fans using cable splitters and tying the fans into the PSU molex source plugs

So, it should be fine even for 5th generation intel ? And about the power phases, this board has 4, it's ok ?
