Im thinking about upgrading my pc and giving my parents some of my parts that I will upgrade.

My PC now
i5-3570k
msi z77A-g45
EVGA GeForce gtx 970 sc
16 gigs
240 gb ssd
1tb hdd

Im thinking bout getting a i7 4790k and a new motherboard. And giving my parents my i5-3570k and my motherboard. What will be the best board for a i7 4790k, if I was to get one.

Yes, this is a very good motherboard. MSI has an easy to use BIOS too.

Any z97 will do. I have an MSI z92s SLI KRAIT edition, works fine, although people do seem to say there are better ones, like the gaming 5 or 7, both by MSI, and for around $130. If you are not planning to overclock, you can go with something cheaper than a z97.

So a MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 GAMING 7 would be good for a i7-4970k?
