Motherboard for i7 4790.

Hi guys, New build starting with i7 4790k. Any suggestions on a good motherboard for gaming. Have also ssd and gtx 780ti, power supply and case already purchased.

Cheers

Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5. Good for everything at the $120 price-point, most of the time.

What's your budget, what's your PSU model?

I'm in Sydney Australia and my budget is $250 AUD. I think the Gaming 5 is a good option, thanks for that.

My PSU is Antec 700W.

Just checking that you were using an appropriate PSU for the motherboard.

Using PCPartpicker, it seems that the Gigabyte Z97Z Gaming 5 is not available, however the data may be wrong. The Gigabyte Gaming 7 is $260, and the ASRock Extreme 6 is $240, both great boards, as is the ASUS Z97 SAGRETOOL MK2. I would not recommend the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 for an i7 4790K overclocking system when those other boards are available for a similar price.
