Sorry, wrong thread.

No worries guys :)

I wouldn't exactly say yes, 5k caps and 4+1 hybrid/ digital power phases are usually good for quite a long time. If your system is overclocked, to a serious level, then the high quality components may help ensuring stable power. I can compare them to CPU coolers, the stock cooler is generally...

In terms of gaming, i3 + GTX 960 will produce better results.

No worries, glad to help :)

No one can guarantee what core speeds you'd get as they're majorly dependent on silicon lottery, but in terms of MoBo, you won't be held back, in reasonable terms.

RLCCM, Thanks! Asus is quite well known for solid motherboards, thus satisfying the 'durable and stable' criteria. Unless you're an audiophile, the integrated sound will not make any difference either. Both are great for OCing, you just get a couple ROG tweaks with the Pro gamer, but that...

There sadly is a big world outside the DIY market. Having used a now-secondary C2D build for 7 years, with a stock cooler which never was cleaned, for hours (or days at stretch), without any issues, I'm quite sure the performance doesn't degrade. How do you push a system to it's limits...

The Motherboard features a PCIe x16 slot and that's all it takes for the GPU to be compatible. It'll work just fine.

Your board is compatible only with select Intel processor (4th gen i core to be precise), and not with any of the AMD chips.

The UEFI BIOS features a "Non-Z OC" section which'll help in OCing.

gigabyte z97mx-gaming is a good board nonetheless. kingcarlos89, as indicated in the list, you're not likely to obtain any considerably higher OC from any one, compared to other one. Usually the chip maxes out (or the cooling solution) before the Tier 1 boards do.

Yes your motherboard supports your GPU.

Your system should support the card without issues, or any performance drops.
