i5 4690k Gaming mobo

[Kyriakos Kypraios]

As the title says I'm getting an i5 4690k into the week and I can't decide on the motherboard. My budget for the mobo is 150€ max. I want to stream on my new pc and already have a R9 280 Windforce. Was thinking on getting a Fx-8350 but from what I've been told i5 4690k is the best option out there b4 i7 4790k.

I would pick MSI Z97 GAMING 5 (120~130€)or MSI Z97 GAMING 7(148~155€),I own both board with i5 4670k and i7 4790k , nice quality and good overclocking performance you should go.

Tier One-Class B: Enthusiast Level. Premium featured MoBos with SLI capability, M.2 and enough power to run any current CPUs with very high-extreme OCing capabilities. Just a step lower than Extreme Enthusiast boards, they’re no less than feature laden. Solid quality, shall serve you long.


Z97X-Gaming 5 (not to be confused with MX version)
MSI GAMING 5
EXTREME6 (AC as well)
UD5H (BK as well)
Z97-PRO (AC as well)
MAXIMUS VII HERO/ RANGER/ GENE/ IMPACT/ FORMULA (great boards for OCing)
GA-Z97X-SOC
Z97 FTW
Z97X-Gaming 7
MSI GAMING 7
PROFESSIONAL
MPOWER (MAX AC edition as well)
DELUXE (NFC&WLC edition as well)
Gaming 9 AC (ACK as well)
Z97-GD65 Gaming
OC Formula (mATX version included)
PRO GAMER
GA-Z97X-UD7 TH (No M.2)
Z97X-SOC-FORCE (no M.2, but great for OCing, has SATAe)
Sabertooth Mark1/ Mark 2 (no M.2, great for OCing)
G1 SNIPER (No M.2, but this MoBo hit 5Ghz mark stable in some reviews)
Z97 Gryphon

Thanks a lot. What about the MSI Z97-G45? Is it any good?

Good ,but MSI Z97 GAMING 5 and MSI Z97 GAMING 7 would better than MSI Z97-G45.

Any Z97 should be great, check out what you need.
I chose an Asrock Z97 Extreme4 as the most bangs for buck for my requirements.

But here's an in depth review:

What i need is to achieve a decent OC, not an extreme but quite decent, at about 4,2GHz. To have a very good net card and sound card.

Go MSI Z97 GAMING 5 Tier One-Class B board would be best choice,OC at 4.2GHz is easy and cool temp.
