Asrock/Asus/Gigabyte/MSI.
Im a beginner in building PCs and i'd like to overclock but still dont know how to. my decision for buying my MOBO would probably be determined with the following preferences:
1. easy to overclock for beginners.
2. budget friendly
3. looks (following a blue black theme)
4. extra features
Choosing between:
ASUS z97 PRO GAMER
Gigabyte z97 Gaming 5
Asrocks z97 Pro 4 - leaning on buying this because its about $40 cheaper in my country
Asrock z97 Extreme 4 - same here but just $20 cheaper
only plan to overclock to about 4.3ghz or 4.5ghz max
here is my build
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($222.75 @ OutletPC)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($55.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Crucial M550 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($127.95 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($51.89 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Palit GeForce GTX 970 4GB JetStream Video Card
Case: NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($67.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($67.99 @ SuperBiiz)
FYI, cooler is not yet included since im deciding between:
CM hyper 212x
Xigmatek Dark Knight
Scythe Mugen 4
Scythe Ashura
Deep Cool Maelstorm Hybrid
Cooler Master Seidon 120V Hybrid
Thanks in advance.
