Help with MB for 4770k

[Tuluras]

Well as the title says I'm looking for help with motherboard I want to build a pc using 4770k pcu. As far as I know it can be overclocked and as far as I understand some motherboards are better with overclocking. I don't have a lot of knowledge about them so could you suggest some kind of motherboard that would go nice with this cpu Thx in advance

if you don't have $200 for a mobo then I would suggest

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z87g45gaming
best price link
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D12OBEU/?tag=pcpapi-20

It's built for gaming and OC

If you want a mobo with the best components and longest lifespan, I would go for the Gigabyte Z87x UD4H

Ty for the suggestion One last question comparing UD4H and the Asus Hero. What are the cons and pros of both of them?

Just quick glancing they seem comparable.

Largest benefit of the Asus board is that it comes with software such as, "Sonic Radar", "RamDisk", "Direct to Bios", and many other really useful features. Also, Asus is generally considered one of the best mobo makers.

I'd say pick your poison on that one, since they both seem like good options. (I have 2 GB boards for my AMD rigs, they had issues, but I hear GB ironed a lot of that out / ga-970a-ud3 and 990FXA-UD5)

*The asus board also has buttons on the board for starting your computer, and/or booting it to bios. It's a very OC friendly board. Sorry it's too late for me to do a head to head here.

Thx chargeit thats some useful info. Any other insights for those to mobos?

 

[EdwardElric]

no real downsides for boards this expensive
here a specs list for the mobo (UD4H).

[Tuluras]

Well the main purpose probably is gaming. Not sure yet, but I think I'll go for the Asus hero. But nor sure yet 😀

 

[EdwardElric]

If it's for gaming as you can see on the review that the MSI gaming mobo is the best mobo and is cheaper than the Asus mobo. have a look at the review if you're not sure.

 

[Tuluras]

yeah, the msi one looks good probably gonna go for it. Thx for the suggestion.

 

[EdwardElric]

No worries mate, just remember to buy what you need, not want you want. Certain mobo are just not worth their price tag. good luck with the build
