Get an ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 or Asus Z97-A instead.

I vote for the gaming 3

H97 Gaming 3. Since you're not OC'ing and not planing to upgrade to an unlocked i7 or i5.

asrock z97 extreme 4 is kinda out of the budget. :'v i can only shell out $120 for the motherboard. *ps i live in the philippines and the prices are 10-20% higher than newegg/pcpartpicker

wait. it says there that i5 4590 can be turbo boosted from 3.30ghz to 3.70ghz . so how do i activate the boost and which motherboard is applicable to apply that boost? thanks

They all shall turbo for you but not so likely with the stock cooler since they are pretty much junk and it is controlled with load and thermal values.

oh i plan on getting a cpu cooler a few months after i complete this build.

Thanks guys ill get the gigabyte h97 gaming 3 instead
