Good 100-125$ LGA 1150 Z97 Mobo?

RabidApocalypse · Apr 6, 2015

I am currently going to upgrade to an I5 4690k. I am looking for a good budget M97 Mobo with an LGA 1150 socket that can support DDR3 1600 RAM that is between 100-125 dollars. Any decent ones out there?

I would go for any of these four. The Asus Z97-A clinches it for me though, it's probably the best there. They'll all pretty damn good though.

Went over all of the links you posted and the MSI Z97 Gaming Mobo was rated better and would match my PC! I will go with that one. Thanks for the help!

Always the red and black theme, haha. I hope more themes emerge eventually. I'm gonna be different and base my next PC around black and white.

I'll be using this motherboard:

This RAM:

And a custom mod on this graphics card, painting the red bits white:

Oops. Sorry for hijacking your thread!

Nice! I would recommend getting a GTX 970 or getting a GPU with more than 2 GB of VRAM because it could hold you back in the future. Otherwise, it looks nice!

Woody1999 · Apr 6, 2015

Yeah, well I only game at 1080p and it would be overkill to have a GTX 970 for what I do. I'll probably get the 4GB GTX 960 anyway for even more uniqueness. I'm just planning out money to do this, got £100 saved up so far, and I'll be spending half of that on a 1TB SSHD for it tomorrow...going full hipster.
