Hello guys. First off prices in my country are different from US UK and so on (oh how I wish I could use newegg) and I'm going to buy a G3258 and update to i5 Haswell or Broadwell next year so I want a MoBo that will be good for some OCing.
My choices for MoBos so far are MSI Z97 PC Mate; GB Z97P-D3; AsRock Z97 PRO4 or Extreme 3. The MSI at the moment is on sale and it fits my budget perfectly, while the others are kind of out of the budget. I've read a lot about the MSI board but I want to ask some people about their experiences with the board so if anyone who has this board is viewing this can you send some feedback? Also which one of the boards will perform the best for mild OC (nothing too extreme since I'll be OCing for the first time)? If you have any advice feel free to post. Thank you in advance!
