Hi everyone, I am currently picking out parts for a new gaming PC. I am having the hardest time choosing a motherboard, but have finally narrowed down the decision to 3 Asus boards. If the Asus z97- Ranger was available in Canada, I would grab that in a heart beat, but sadly it's unavailable and I am not prepared to pay $50+ to ship one from Singapore. The processor will be an i5 4690k, and I plan on overclocking to about 4.5Ghz if anyone wanted to know. Anyway, here are the three boards:
