Helooooo

I am building a new gaming PC and have chosen all of my components.
But i can't choose between these 2 motherboards.
AsRock Fatal1ty ATX S1150 H97 &MSI Z97-G45 GAMING

- witch one should i buy?

Video Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB
Memory: Corsair 2x4GB DDR3, 1600 HMz, 240pin DIMM
Storage: Western Digital Blue, 1TB, 3.5”

msi motherboard Z97 G-45 gaming is recommended cause it has Z97 chip set support 3300(o.c.) [over just 1600mhz non-overclocking]and 3 PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (over just one in ASrock motherboard ) and it also support 3 way AMD cross fore and 2 way Nvidai SLI. it's much better than ASrock' mobo also considering your future upgrades.
You Must GO FOR ASUS z97-A awesome mobo
Hi, are you getting the 4590 or the 4590k? The K is the overclocking version, which makes the difference. What is hte budget for the motherboard, because you can probably buy a better one for the same money depending on your needs
 


I think i am just getting the 4590, but i am not sure.
My budget is about $150-180.
