Hello Guys i want to make home lab setup with I5 4690 cpu.
I will be using it for virtualization.
I made the config below :-
CPU:- I5 4690
RAM:- Corsair Vengeance or Kingston HyperX DDR3 8 GB
PSU:- Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU or Cooler Master Thunder 500W
any cooler master cabinet.

I am confused between motherboard which should i go for below i found some good :-
ASUS H97 Plus
ASUS H97 ME
Gigabyte GA H97-D3H
MSI Z97 Guard Pro

Kindly give your valuable opinion which will suit best with i5 4690 for better performance.
If you have any other choice kindly suggest.

It depends on what your expansion option needs are and amount of ports you need, a mobo wont give you better performance with a locked chip.

As a side note, both of those psus are shit, go for a seasonic, evga or xfx psu.
