Is this a good MOBO version for gaming Gigabyte ga-z97mx?

sammael1984 · Feb 27, 2015

I will be putting together my first gaming PC with a GTX 980 Gygabyte Gaming 1, and an i7 4790K. A good old Noctua NH D-14 to keep things cool. My question is, is this MOBO version alright for my build? Gigabyte ga-z97mx Gaming 5.

This is my intended build:

CPU:Intel Core i7-4790K
MOBO:Gigabyte ga-z97mx Gaming 5
GPU:Gtx 980 Gygabyte Gaming 1
Noctua Ventilador NH-D14, S-1366, 1200RPM
RAM: Ddr3 Kingston Hyperx Fury 8gb 1866mhz Pc
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 3.5'', 1TB, SATA III, 6 Gbit/s, 7200RPM, 64MB Cache
SSD: Crucial MX100 128 GB
Power Supply 3: Corsair Pw Rm650 Gold
Case: Nzxt H440

By the way, if you see any compatibility issues on this build, please lend me your knowledge.

I thank you in advance.

Yeah, it's a really good motherboard but why don't you go for the full ATX version?

A better power supply and it's a great build.

Please excuse my ignorance in this matter, could you please tell me the name of that full ATX version and what is the difference? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for your input. Could you please tell me a few options to have a more suitable Power Supply? I thank you in advance.

The name of the full ATX version is the Z97X-Gaming 5 and there isn't much difference at all to be honest, it's just a space thing and the full size board usually comes in a little cheaper from what I've seen.

Perfect, mate. I will make sure it doesn't say Micro AXT. I really didn't know. By the way, do you think it will fit just fine in my case Nzxt H440?

Thanks
