Hello. I have recently been able to have the opportunity to upgrade my cpu (i5-3350P to a i7 47790K) and have no idea what motherboard I should get. I am a complete newbie at this stuff. I have had my eye on the MOD Asus Z97 Maximus VII Ranger and the Gigabyte Z97X G1 Black Edition (WiFi) as these two motherboards have great reviews, and are under my budget. However, I am not fully open to the wide variety of motherboards, so that is why I am asking the beautiful community if there is any better.
The motherboard I am after should be:
-Gaming optimised (and maybe OC too)
-Amount of features
-Lots of upgradeability (such as 2,3 or 4-way SLI, min of 5 fan headers, 32GB max of DDR3 RAM)
-Z97 with ATX/E-ATX compatible with an Intel 1150 socket (i7 4790k)
-Must be under the budget of £200
-And should look good!
If anyone could give a recommendation for a motherboard that is better than the two listed abpve is would do me a great deal!
