Hi Forum,

I need some advice.

I've been planning a pc build for a few months and after reading alot of reviews i decided to go for the Asus Z97-PRO Gamer. Thing is, now i have the funds to purchase the board it's been discountinued. I can't seem to find it anywhere. the one i did find on amazon is selling for a crazy price, so now i have to choose another board.

My question is. What board on the z97 would be on the same level as the pro gamer or maybe better? when i say better i mean same as the pro gamer price range with the same features or just a tad better.

any advice would be appreciated. the pro gamer has everything i needed 🙁
 
problem is im in the uk and would need to add shipping on top which would make the board really expensive, also if theres any issues the rma would be more of a problem sending it back overseas 🙁 thats why i was looking at some alternitives.
 
ah well you have to understand 4th gen boards are few and far between,. you can try going to pcpartpicker set country (top right top UK) then select by individual item and goto motherboard and type z97, choices are few, I did a search at Aria PC Uk, and they only carry 2 models.

the question I have do you have a 4th gen CPU already ? or looking to build up your system
 
i have a i7 4790

if was to go with a new chip set and go for a new cpu what would be the board that would be on comparison to the asus pro gamer? i'm thinking maybe i should buy a new cpu and go for a newer board. really not sure, adds another £350 to my budget though but is an option.
 


Thanks for posting,

yes i've seen these but can't decide what board will be close to the asus z97 pro gamer without having to do comparisions and read reviews, i was hoping someone would be able to guide me to a board on the z97 that was as good as the pro gamer from experience.

maybe i should go witha new chip set and buy a new cpu.. really can't decide.

update: after some researching on pcpartpicker im thinking maybe go for the Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO
