Z97 Krait 

 

I'd also get a 4690k instead.

[JAKEBAB]

Id get the msi krait.

[Suffokation]

ATX - MSI Z97M-POWER MAX AC - 629 SGD

The MSI Z97M Power Max AC is probably the "best" board here.

It's one of the most expensive however.

The Asus Z97 Pro Wifi is another amazing choice.

[Kawaii Besu]

I'd get the MSI Z97S Krait (dat smexeh mobo) and spend that extra money on the 4690K and probably even a better GPU if possible.

[WaitForMeImOnDialUp]

why the krait? im looking to get a new motherboard for my 4770k  and i was looking at either the krait, z87/97-gd65, z97 sabertooth, z97 sli plus, z97x killer, z97x soc and a couple more. i dont know which to get

 

i heard that the krait was kinda dissapointing and its better to get the z97 sli plus instead..i dont know what to do lol

Get whatever z87/z97 board you like the look of best. It really doesn't matter as any z97 board will yield the same performance assuming it has the same features that you need (SLI/XFIRE, # of sata ports, I/O, etc...).

z97 sli plus almost no stock over my place here, at least...only krait available, and most local shop wont preorder z97 sli plus anymore

[SYPH]

Get a board that you can afford, and has the features you use, white & black builds aren't that special anymore... its becoming the new Red/Black

If you plan on using dual GPU's down the road, this:

ATX -MSI Z97S SLI KRAIT EDITION - 480 SGD

if you really don't think you'll ever want to run dual cards, this one:

ATX -ASUS H97-PRO GAMER - 471 SGD

Z97S Krait / Z97-A (I personally own the Z97-A).

 

There's currently a combo promotion going on for the Krait mobo and a 4690k, in hot deals section.

I was thinking these two too, if single gpu then go for H series instead z series since i am not going for overclocking, but sli still in my concern..~.~

im not going for overclocking tbh, so i still prefer 4460 / 4590, not 4690 because not worth in terms of prce/performace, but sli still in my concern

then go with the krait it's a dead sexy motherboard, very solid..and get the i5-4590 to go along.
