Which motherboard should I get

Bolton_99 · Nov 10, 2014

Either this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00K872HRO?pc_redir=1414265639&robot_redir=1 or this one http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z97pro4.

If you have any suggestions, please tell me. Keep them around £80 please.

Bolton_99 :

The ASrock Z97
My opinion

Thaisnang · Nov 10, 2014

Bolton_99 :

get Z97. I'll recommend ASrock Extreme 4

Bolton_99 · Nov 10, 2014

Thaisnang :

Ah, okay, thanks! However, that is out of my price range ;-(

Then Asrock z97 pro4 or Gigabyte Z97X SLI

Then Asrock z97 pro4 or Gigabyte Z97X SLI

Is one better than the other or are they very similar?

Good budget board and at a good price right now.

Do you want me to cancel your current solution answer so that you pick a new solution answer?

Thaisnang · Nov 10, 2014

Gigabyte supports SLI,Asrock doesn't, other than that they're pretty similar.

Bolton_99 · Nov 10, 2014

Francisco Costa :

Should I go for this one over the others?

Bolton_99 · Nov 10, 2014

Farapon :

If you don't mind

Francisco Costa · Nov 10, 2014

Bolton_99 :

Well, it's considerably cheaper. Great for the price.

Bolton_99 · Nov 10, 2014

Francisco Costa :

Looks good for £70. Will this allow me to overclock my i5 4690k?

Francisco Costa · Nov 10, 2014

Yes it will. Not Maximus VII Formula level of course but you will be able to overclock it nicely.

Bolton_99 · Nov 10, 2014

Francisco Costa :

Will it need a bios update for the i5 4690k. Is there anyway of checking if not?

Francisco Costa · Nov 10, 2014

Bolton_99 :

It's Z97 chipset so it doesn't need a BIOS update to support the i5 4690k
