I'm finally upgrading from an FX6100 to an i7 4790k (yey!)
After hours of research, I was able to narrow the list to 6 boards which are +/- 20USD range here in the Philippines. All of these boards meet my requirements, and I've already chosen a board. I just want to ask for your opinions.
I will be overclocking my CPU.
Won't be using Sata Express or M.2 so the chipset doesn't matter.
I'll be gaming, coding, graphics/video editing
I will only be using a single GPU
Will only have 2 sticks of 4gb of performance memory.
As for cosmetics, I have a CM Storm Scout 2 with a pair of Corsair Air Series (Blue). I'm not sure how black/red motherboards would look in blue light so they're in the bottom half.
Blue/Black Boards
MSI z87-g43 - 1st option
GA-Z87-D3HP
Asus z97-k - Black/ with a little Gold
Red/Black
Features are what I need but are colored red
MSI z97 Gaming 3
GA-Z97X-Gaming 3
Asus z87-A - Black/Gold
