Hello everyone, this my current PC build I am planning on buying, but there is some issues I am having

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4tz2ZL <====Current build

I loved this board, but there seems to be a serious "power" issue related to it and now I'm too afraid to get one

Would someone please recommend to me some good gaming PC motherboards at or under $150

Please, if you help me, just don't be like, this one is good, and that's all you post, I need some serious help and support before I go and get a board

What power issue have you heard about? The only issue I know of with that board is the high power usage due to the dual stacked MOSFETS but the Extreme 4 and Extreme 6 have possibly the best power phase design of any Z97 motherboard in my opinion. The Extreme 4 was one of Tom's best motherboards for 2014 too I believe.

The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 is another absolutely brilliant board highly recommended by Tom's

Have you seen the reddit posts and all of the reviews on newegg and Amazon? It seems like there is a pretty common problem with these boards from what I can tell

Ahhhh, I honestly didn't know about that issue but I don't ever shop on Newegg or Amazon.com being from the UK.

This, if it takes too much power just get a more wattage power supply.
