I (in India) cant find MSI Z87-G45 Gaming. What mobo should I choose with R9 270x (main purpose gaming).

CPU- i5 4670k
Cooler- Cooler master 212 evo(or x or plus)
Mobo-confused
GPU- r9 270x (till now)

My main question is
Should I spend more on GPU than mobo.
Which upgraded graphic card with with fine mobo you recommend.

Some prices in INR to give Idea about prices-

R9 270x- 15 k
R9 280- 20.6 k
R9 280x- 24.5 k
GTX 760- 17 k
GTX 770- 26.3 k

MSI Z87-G45- unknown
MSI Z87-G43- 8.8 k
MSI Z87-G43 Gaming 11.9 k
MSI Z87-G55 11.3 k
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming 14.5 k

Asus Z87-A 13.8 k
Asus Z87 Pro 18.4 k
Asus Z87-K 11.8 k

Gigabyte GAZ87X-UD3H 15.4k
Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H 11k
Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP 11k

My Dealer was giving (as MSI products are not available)
270x + G1.Sniper Z87 = 14.8 + 14.4 = 30k approx
Thanks

I still suggest the ASUS over most of the other boards. I don't really like the MSi boards myself just off features and some other stuff, but I say if you want the best ones out of each category, then MSi z87 gd65 gaming, all of the asus ones are good and best one for price:performance ratio might be the z87-a in my opinion, and gigabyte ud3h is probably the only one I'd recommend out of those 3.

z87 A- I will consider that.
but it does not have any mSATA (I have a 64GB SSD) and VGA connectors, will it matter?
secondly would it support overclocking of i5 4670k?

All Z87 chip set boards overclock, K CPUs
It has 1 VGA connection.
If you need 2 VGA, you would need a Display port to VGA adapter.

Can't help on the mSATA, I just know you see those a lot on Gigabyte boards, and not many others.
Not sure about adapters.

Does GTX 760 worth extra 16% money compared to 270x?

At the moment, I buy both MSI, and Asus Boards, and have had good luck with Gigabyte in the past.

Those 3 are easily the best board manufacturer on the planet. (Asrock is not far behind)

Buy for price and features, and stop worrying about the imaginary best.

Asus is the biggest, and many think the best, but they have had many horror stories, about their warranty and support, in the past. Big can be arrogant, and was.

I have never had a bad board from any of those 3.


That said, I am ordering an Asus B85M-E/CSN next week for my wife.
I chose it above the MSI for a few features the MSI didn't have.


The MSI in my Flight Simulator computer is a MSI B85-G41 PC Mate.and is 3 months old, and I couldn't be happier with it.

In both cases I chose on price and features.
