What motherboard will compliment this build?

(Not planing on heavy cpu overclocking might do some minor overclocking in the future , not planing on running a SLI configuration , don't really know too much about RAM overclocking)

Post your budget and a better build could be gotten.

In the country that I live in you pay 130% or more for every product in the local stores , and ordering PC parts via personal imports will cost even more, not to mention the headache of overseas costumer support and warranty .

With the same amount of money that I will pay for the build above I will be able to get the same build + 144hz BenQ monitor and pay little less for it...

So discussing budget is not sufficient in my case.

OK...
The Z97-A is still a very good motherboard, coming in at under 140$ USD.

Do you think that the Asus Maximus VII Hero is worth putting some extra money into ?

 

[zeyuanfu]

NO! It has essentially the same features as the Z97-A but it has some lights and a rebranded Realtek ACL1150 audio chip, not to mention the red-black color scheme. Get the Asus Z97-A.

Thank you !
