Im in the market for a new system. Im set on a i7-4790k but i don't know what motherboard to get.
On amazon they have a combo of an i7-4790k with either a
- Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING Motherboard $508.99
- MSI Gaming 7 Motherboard $514.98
- ASUS Maximus VII Hero Motherboard $544.98

I have done previous research on each of them but i don't know what to get.
Gonna be using this rig for gaming, going to be air-cooled.

Thoughts?

If you are going to buy a Core i7-4790k, pay attention to what motherboard you are going for. All the three motherboards uses Z97 and it is great, because that is what your processor needs - or, at least, a Z87. Because a good chipset means a better quality motherboard and better components (also sound quality, reliability and stuff). As @barel0702500 said and I upvoted his post, the Asus is a great pick.
