Hey guys. I'm looking for a motherboard to go with an Intel i5 4690K (3.5ghz). On the motherboard I'd like to put 2 4Gb sticks of ram, the Intel processor mentioned above, and the cooling unit being a Corsair H80i (GT)or a coolermaster nepton 120mmXL. I think the GPU will be an EVGA NVIDIA GTX 960 SSC. Not sure if this is relevant but I intend to attach an SSD and up to 2 HDDs. I would quite like to overclock the GPU and CPU so it would help if the motherboard supports this.

Budget: £0-80 (Couldt maybe stret to £100 but prefer not to.

Thanks in advance!

I really need something around the £80 mark and I don't really need a 'gaming' motherboard just one that will run well with the components stated on it. I see lots of Intel mobos as cheap or cheaper than 80 but am just not sure which to pick.
Thanks anyway tho

The gaming is just a name. The components on that motherboard is the best for overclocking and stability for the price. GPU overclocking is down to the gpu itself.
All decent Z97 are £100+.

Tbh I probably won't need to overclock the GPU and I don't specifically need a z97 so what would a good cheap option be for around £80? Gigabyte, msi? And specifically what board.
Thanks

Z97 is recommended to overclock with an i5 4690k.
Nothing stand out at £80.

Thank-you very much for your help. I think I can go to £100 if it's worth it.
Looking on amazon, I found:
Msi z97 gaming 3 Intel atx motherboard
Would that be OK?
Thanks
