Hi,
I will be getting
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (Not sure if this is over kill?)
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card
Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (I believe this PSU will be fine for OC)

What I need is a cheap ish Motherboard I can OC the CUP and the GPU Im unsure on what to get but as Gigabyte has dual BIOS I feel safer with that make of board.

Any help please?

You can get it for £89.99 at Novatech but if that is too much then the Asus Z97-P may be something to look into...
People will say the PSU isn't fine but I've ran my system overclocked for a good while with no issues but if you haven't already bought it, I'd suggest considering the EVGA G2 650w. I'm not sure if my motherboard has dual BIOS but it works very well for me, the Gigabyte Z97X SLI, I recommend you look into it :)
 


Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me :), I'll look in to the PSU good tip, As for the motherboard, I'm looking for something cheaper, I know buying to cheap is not really a good thing, but the one you said to look at it a bit out of my price range sadly, I have about £50 to £80- to spend on the motherboard.

Edit: Changed recommendation to the Asus Z97-P
