Apparently my MSI Z97 Gaming 3 has died on me a couple of days ago (see: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3477282/msi-gaming-z97-usb-ports-lan-port-working.html). I can get a refund, so I'm looking for a new motherboard. I'm quite done with MSI, second board in 2 years that's dying on me.
My problem though: The shops where I live (Germany) have nearly run out of 1150-boards that are out-of-the-box compatible with my Intel i5 4690K, if I understood the BIOS-Update-problem correctly - at least in my price range.
I can choose between the following:
The last one should be BIOS-compatible with my i5 4690K, right? It's the most expensive, though. I just want to make sure if I can buy any of the other boards or if all of them won't work with my CPU. I'm not into OC (bought the wrong CPU for that in the first place, I know), I just need a board that supports the K-CPU.
