A MUCH cheaper board. Something like an ASUS Z97-A is the MOST I would get with a locked CPU.
What does the rest of the system look like? PSU,RAM,etc?
The full rig would be something like this:
-i7 4790
-coolermaster hyper 212 evo
-corsair vengeance pro 16gb (8x2) 1866mhz
-samsung 850 evo 500gb
-msi gtx 970 gaming 4g (will get another one for sli in a couple of months)
-any 1tb 64mb cache HDD
-evga supernova g2 850w (im getting it with pretty high rebate that my dad got me, thats why the overkill)
And I think thats pretty much it. For the mobo I wanted something that could easily handle this specs + the future 970 sli. I have no problem in spending some more money in getting something reliable and good enough. What would you recommend?
