Hey guys I'm building a new computer and I am wondering which mother board I should get.
My CPU is i5 4590
my graphics card will be either a GTX 770 or a R9 285
I plan on running 2 monitors
My case is the Define R4 black pearl


    ASRock Z97 Anniversary Socket 1150

    ASRock H97M Pro4 Socket 1150 Intel H97 Chipset

    ASRock H97 Pro4 Socket 1150 Intel H97 Chipset

    ASRock H97M-ITX/ac Socket 1150 Intel H97 Chipset

    ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance Socket 1150 Intel H97 Chipset


I don't plan on overclocking, so I thought H97 are probably my best best but since that Z97 is on for a really good price I am a little confused as to what I should get. Thanks for all the help!!

The Z97 Anniversary is specifically made for overclocking the G3258 so I wouldn't bother messing with it.

I'd buy the H97 Pro4 and The 770.

For my case the ATX would be better than the micro atx? Other than size what are the real differences between the two?

The Case supports all form factors however if you aren't getting a micro atx game then get a ATX Mobo to have better cable management and more room for upgrades.
