I'm building my first PC and I thought I was pretty set on it including the motherboard but I honestly have no idea what any of the specifications mean or if it is even compatible with the processor or other parts. I've read reviews saying the motherboard I have on here doesnt work with i7 4790K. Don't know if that's true or not.
