Hi all.
I purchased an Asus Z97-A USB 3.1 motherboard with the thought of making a fairly modest PC. ...Then I changed my goals midway through and have been buying some fairly high-end parts.
Will be doing light/mild overclocking - the intention would be to use the motherboard BIOS' for automatic CPU overclock settings.
GPU: EVGA two 980 TI Classifieds
CPU: i7-4790K
RAM: G.Skill TridentX 16GB DDR3 2133
OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
Generally speaking, how much improvement (frames per second, stability, etc) would I achieve by getting a motherboard like the ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero versus keeping the cheaper ASUS Z97-A USB 3.1 ...? (I heard good things about the Maximus VII Hero, which is why I referenced it. Would happily go with another ~$300 Z97 motherboard, too.)
I'm worried the Asus Z97-A is going to drag down the other components.
Thanks in advance.
