intel core i5 4590 haswell
mobo ?
gskill 8gb ram 2*4
gtx 960 evga
seasonic s12 520 w bronze psu
nzxt s340
so . back to mobo i have 3 option
1-ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance Socket 1150 Motherboard
2-Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H Socket 1150 Motherboard
3-MSI H97 GUARD-PRO Socket 1150 Motherboard
asus mobo is not an option because they are very expensive in my country costing even more than cpu so which one is beter ?

I'd go with Gigabyte if I were you, their UEFI and general performance are really good and user friendly.

For ASRock I would STAY AWAY from ASRock. I had a really bad experience with them (Customer support not communicating with each other, refusing RMAs, DOA boards)... I am never buying any of their boards ever again, not even if they were on sale for $10.

what about msi and gigabyte p85 vs h97

Gigabyte and MSI are awesome and welcome to get.
If i need to choose one, should go for MSI (Asia), Gigabyte (Europe/America)

go with the H97, its better than the P85 chipset.

I'd go the Rock's H97 Fatality, good mobo, nice BIOS, runs cool

 

[Vici0us]

Go with Gigabyte or MSI. ASRock's mobos are cheaply made hence why they're so cheap.

Look I`ve heard and had some good stories with AsRock but bad ones outweigh the good, so I would say no, as for MSI and Gigabyte... Well I`m going to be bias cause I`m a very big Gigabyte fanboy, which I know one should never be a fanboy but oohhh well...

Just look at this and tell me how the MSI can be better than the Gigabyte... They even give better and more info on the Gigabyte!!

Don`t just take it from me man... but I`d say make the right choice, do the right thing!!! Be a man!!!

Well after an ordeal I had with ASRock I had a few years ago, I felt "traumatized" to use ASRock again.

If they improve their customer support i might consider buying them again.

PS: I am an Asus Fanboy, their ROG board aesthetics, build quality and features is just out of this world!

Hahahahaha "traumatized"... Nice!! No I get that and yes ASUS is the benchmark to beat in particular with their ROG boards! Really really nice but you do pay that little bit more, but it`s worth it!!

go with msi for sure
but what you want your pc do? gaming?
I will say, downgrade your cpu to i5-4460, this will be good to use
and upgrade your mb to msi gaming motherboard

never knew what to choose thanks anyway

 

[Tradesman1]

The ROG boards are good choices

 

[bibo151993]

The ROG boards are good choices

yep thats a good idea why i did not think of it before . oh its more expensive than i7

Because ROG boards are gamer high end boards. They pack a lot of features and use components that are more expensive than their conventional variants, plus these components are high quality and last a long time to justify their high cost

To all who think ROG is overpriced... think again.
