Hey, I'm on the market to purchase a new motherboard and processor combo. The processor articles say that the 4690k is the most bang for the buck, and I intend to overclock it as high as I can get it after adding water cooling (Which I'm new to, so any pointers are greatly appreciated.)

Anyhow, this motherboard has all the different slots I need, so is this a good choice for me to overclock with? It's got a perfect price and I really like the look of it.

Thank you in advance

How do you feel about the other guy's links? They're mostly cheaper than the picks for TH, but I admittedly know jack about motherboards and if that extra $30 is going to be well spent, then I'm going to spend it.

This is the one I'm eyeballing from your article:

I guess I should point out that SLI or Crossfire are a possibility. I just saw that the Fatal1ty Mobo on his links has only one x16 PCI-E

Sadly, not even remotely close. The closest one is in Georgia, and I live in eastern NC, 7 hours away.

Budget? As I said - get the best that you can afford.
