So im thinking about which mobo to get for my future build. Im thinking the following: Asrock h97m pro4, b85m pro4, h97m-itx/ac, fatality killer b85 and fatality killer h97, Asus h97 pro gamer, b85 pro gamer, impact vii and gne vii. My budget is about 950€ (buying from mindfactory.de). Which suits best for r9 390 and 4460 and has best price-performace ratio. Also if I get atx board, ill buy 80€ case. If i get matx or mith i can get smaller case for 60€ which would save money. Thank you :)!
 


If you are buying a non-K CPU than literally any of those boards are fine. The best ones are probably the Asus h97's, though ASRock fatality killer h97 is pretty nice. It's really just up to you. If you go m-ATX there is not much room for upgrading later on, which isn't a huge deal but if you plan to use this PC for 4 or 5 years it might be. This is really all up to you though.
 


Thank you. All these have everything I need, but why some of them have such a price difference like b85 and h97 killer or those rog boards?
 


Price differences are usually based on what extras the motherboard comes with. More USB 3.0 headers, more PCI-e slots, more PCI-e 16x slots for SLI/crossfire, etc. You also pay more for brands sometimes, like Asus ROG boards, though they usually tend to be pretty high quality.
 

Now im going with the h97 pro gamer or fatality b85 because price and same features, or doing a smaller build with h97m pro4 or h97m-itx/ac.
