Is Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 good for I7 4790K?

[brofromcro]

I have found this mobo and it has great features plus the price is low.
Its not that popular for some reason. So will this mobo support my future processor without BIOS updating? And is it even good? What BIOS does it have (I want pics haha).

Thank you!!!

You need atleast F5 BIOS version on that mobo.
Here's the CPU support list for your motherboard : http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4958
I can't tell you if a BIOS update is needed , you'll find out after buying the motherboard.

Here's a guide from Gigabyte regarding BIOS update : http://www.gigabyte.com/webpage/20/HowToReflashBIOS.html
The Gigabyte Z97P-D3 has the F3 version since is the first update, so you need to update it.
You should go with the I7-4790 , this CPU won't require a BIOS update.
