Hello,
I bought an i5 4670k and I don't know what mobo I should buy. I want to overclock my new CPU, so I preffer a Z87 chipset. I don't have too much money, so I can't buy an expensive board. One board that I can buy is GIGABYTE Z87P-D3, but I want to see your opinions.
 
Solution
I have the MSI Z87-G43 MB which is pretty inexpensive. It is a very good MB with 6 + 2 power phases which OC's my i5 4670 to 4.6 GHz. You should check the price of this one in your country. Highly recommended!

its any LGA 1150/z87 motherboard & i would go for an Asus Z87 but that's just opinion!
your choice is also a good one
here's a review i found

The trouble is - like everything - a cheap one probably isn't a good one. Only one pciex16 slot?, xfire plus sli? no. usb 3, no sata 3. Also no. power phases - for better oc control and functional stability.

Cost wise I think you should look at the ASRock Z87 Killer
 


It supports USB 3.0, and even has a header. I'm not sure what you're looking at.

And if he can't afford a very high end motherboard, I rather doubt he'll care about losing SLI/Xfire since he's probably using a single card anyway.
 
I will not do/CrossfireX. I can't afford a high end card like 780ti, so neither multiple GPUs. I hope next year I can buy a card like 770.
Anyways, I will buy a aftermark cooler and I want OC to 4.4 Ghz. In my country the VAT is 24%, so this is why I can't expensive mobo. I use my PC for video editing and gaming and sometimes server hosting. I don't want an ultra cheap mobo, I want a good mobo for money. Thanks in advance.
