ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional still worth buying ?

wytse · Oct 30, 2014

Hey,
I'm building a new gaming pc for my brother, but i'm not sure which mobo to choose.
The ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional is in sale for only 55 euros which is dirt cheap for this mobo. But i'm not sure if it's smart to buy a p67 board in 2014.

Thoughts ? , Mobo suggestions (ca. 100 euros.)

Specs : (budget is 1050 euros.)

Crucial 8GB PC3-12800 Kit
Gigabyte GeForce GTX780 Ti 3GB
Intel Core i7-4790K
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA HDD
Enermax ERX730AWT power supply unit
BitFenix Ronin Miditower Zwart

If its only for gaming then drop down to an i5 4690k, that will save you $100 and you can get a better motherboard. With that change you should have a budget around 200 euros so if you could swing it look at an ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO.

faalin :

exactly what i was thinking (though not quite as expensive a mobo) and would also change out that psu. enermax not exactly the most recommended brand. look at seasonic or xfx as they make good psu's

So what about this ? :http://gyazo.com/9921f001f6b183589f79d5783220ef67
Or should i take a vii ranger instead and add an ssd as boot drive ?

you can get an msi z97-gaming 5 for a lot less and either get an ssd or add an aftermarket cpu cooler. the stock cooler is not the best and is loud. i put a cooler master hyper 212 evo on my i5-4690k and it's cool and quiet. kinda costly and HUGE but worth it.

though it may not fit in that case with side fans going and might be overkill with all the fans in the case.
