Hi, first post and hope its not the only one I do :D

Im planning to buy a new mobo and the i5-4690 that i will have to buy too..

I did a research and some people recommend one with Z97 chipset, knowing this i have this three options and would want to be recommended by you too guys/girls.

1- ASRock Z97 Extreme3 - 95 to 115€
2- Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 - 74€
3- ASUS Z97-E - 110€

Which one would you take and if its no one of this, tell me if its possible some more options

Im not at home so will post PSU later

GPU- Asus strix 960 2gb
HDD- Seagate barracuda 1TB
PSU- Coming soon
Heatsink- CoolerMaster evo 212


Thank you all :D

I'd take AsRock personally, for their excellent BIOS. However, take note that your CPU is not overclockable anyway, and the ability to OC is actually the most prominent feature of Z97 vs H97 (the other one being SLI).

Thus, H97 boards are usually recommended for non-OCable i5s, like this one:

Still, if a H97 board costs about the same as a Z97 board, you have nothing to lose and just get a Z97 one. If nothing else, you gain SLI support.
