building my 1st PC with 500$.. need help with motherboard

pc_noob1 · Nov 15, 2015

hi, I need some directions here.
I read a lot here and I decided on:

VGA: GeForce EVGA gtx 960 2gb (will i need the 4 gb?)
CPU: Intel i5-4690k ( or i7-4790?)
Memory: G. Skill 8GB (2x4GB)
MoBo: ????!

Does that stuff mix together fine? or do I need to change something?
Anything better at same prices?

I'm left with 50$ for the MoBo what is the best thing around that price.. or do I need to spend more on it?

Also.. I'm gonna get a new monitor.. is ASUS VS228 21.5 inch ok?.. if there is anything better at the same price range, shoot!

Would you advise against OC-ing?

thanks!

The will be good for gaming at 1080p at medium high/settings. I would spend a little more and get a quality motherboard. Your monitor looks like a good one, too. You don't need a 4 GB video card at the resolution your gaming at, so the 2 GB version will be fine. Use PCPartPicker System Build to make sure your exact choices are all compatible. Most importantly, get a quality PSU. Saving a few bucks on a cheap PSU is false economy. Overclocking is fine if done reasonably. Low voltage and heat for longevity.
