Is this a Decent Board ??? •Gigabyte Z97 Motherboard - Intel LGA1150 Socket, Intel Z97 Express Chipset, AMD CrossFire Support

I have not built a computer in 5 years and am getting a i7 4790k and want to know if this is a good board. I will OC some and have a GTX750Ti OC and will eventually want to add a sec for SLI
Is this a good choice or is there better options for around $150??

It is a decent budget Z97 board! That will only do dual cards with AMD not Nvidia GPU's.

Ok thank you. I have Nvidia so Ill need a different option. What do you suggest in the $100-200 range that will do some easy OCing be reliable and do SLI ??

That is a great board but you will have to make sure it has BIOS to support 4790K!

Actually one of few boards that can flash BIOS without CPU. http://www.asus.com/us/ROG_ROG/MAXIMUS_VI_HERO/
Recommend it.

Probably should stick to z97 then
On The board rolli showed from partpicker above I went to TigerDirect from there (they have the CPU on sale so I may order there) but I don't know if its the same board I originally listed or if that one actually does SLI ??

 

[rolli59]

Yep that was the board you listed!
