I need a new motherboard for my gaming PC. It does not matter a huge amount on the price but the quality is important.

My Gaming Rig:
CPU: Intel i5 4690k
GPU: Msi Gtx770 4Gb Twin Frozr
PSU: Techsolo 650W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb (2x8) 2400mz

any Z97 would do just fine. asus - asrock - gigabyte would be my preferance.! that techsolo psu of yours looks scary!!

is this your psu? labeled as 650w but has 12v rails with combined power of 430w, providing only 1x6+2pin pcie power cable.i wouldnt try any adapters with that unit! that wont suffice for gpu!

gtx 560 is an 170w tdp gpu and gtx 770 a 230w. that increase in power requires additional power cables that your psu doesnt provide, meaning it isnt suitable for such power demands.! your psu equals with a 450w psu. a true 650w would provide at least 3x 6+2pin power cables.

GTX 770 GPU
Thermal and Power Specs:
98 C Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)
230 W Graphics Card Power (W)
600 W Minimum Recommended System Power (W)
One 8-pin and one 6-pin Supplementary Power Connectors
