So, I haven't upgraded my gaming rig since 2011, suffice it to say I need some new parts as games are starting to tax my system noticeably.
I'll only be upgrading the CPU, GPU and Mobo, as well as getting a new CPU heatsink.
I've settled already on a i7-4790k for the CPU, a GTX 980 GPU, a Noctua NH-U14S for heatsink, but I'm seeking some advice on the best value/quality mobo for the build.
I've been looking around and gotten some choices, in descending price:
ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132125
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128722
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128708
ASRock Z97 Extreme6 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157500
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128709
ASRock Z97 Extreme4 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157503
I would appreciate some advice from the community, as well as any other choice maybe I haven't found that could be better.
Thanks
