Sidni Tan · Jul 4, 2015

which is a better mobo for HD gaming 720p or 1080p and still running smoothly? (resident evil 6, the sims 3/4, farcry)

processor: intel core i5-4590
video card: asus gtx 750 ti
PSU: antec vp550p 550watts
ram: 2x4gb kingston hyperx blu
chassis: raidmax super viper red usb3.0

are they all compatible to each other? will they maximize their purpose? i need your honest and expert opinion gents. Thank you

B85 is outdated. You should go with the H97 and get the one without the M if you can. The M means it is a micro board and generally performs worse than the non M.

What is your budget? I know I can make this build better. Do you need a HDD?

They will perform similarly but the H97 chipset has more features.

The 9 series is newer.
Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 (rev. 2.0) is on sale at newegg.com in Email Deals for $69.99 after $20.00 rebate card.

Budget?

IntelTurtleFan :

budget would be $650-750 for the whole build, cpu, gpu, mobo, psu, ram, hdd and chassis

Best bet:
You can change the case to whatever you want. This build gives some better quality parts and leaves room for upgrades.
