Best Motherboard for Overclocking and High quality Gaming?

hunter24958 · Oct 29, 2014

Hey Guys, I'm looking at building a new PC, I want to get the best performance out of my CPU (Intel core i5 4690k) and I'm just going to be using it for gaming. I'm going to overclock the CPU but I need a good mobo to get max performance. I've been looking at Gigabyte boards but not sure if I want the Gaming G1 series or the overclocking series. Also I'm looking to spend over £100 on the board and preferable the colour to be green or plain black, but that doesn't really matter I'm just looking for a decent board and for it to be a good quality brand. Thanks.

The green color was only present in few of the Gigabyte Sniper series. Plain pure black is virtually non-existent with the exception of few X79 and X99 motherboards which do not fit I5s.

Around the 100 quid mark - I would pick these as best options:

http://www.alternate.co.uk/ASRock/Z97M-OC-Formula/html/product/1141496?

P.S
Most likely you can find these somewhere for cheaper. Cheers
