The H97 looks good, has more audio and video ports than the Z97. Any specifics for what this board might be used for?

Signature unda construction... in the meantime. Tell me more about yourself. I'm sure you've got an interesting story.

But for overclocking in the future, i'd go for the Z97

I think it's nice to have the option later down the road. Right now I don't need it either but in the future maybe squeeze some extra juice to make it compete with more modern CPUs. 

Intel 4790 K - R9 295X2 - Gigabyte Z97-SLI - Corsair Vengeance Pro Black 1866 CAL9 - Corsair HX 1000 -Samsung 850 EVO SSD - Samsung HDD - H100I - Corsair C70 - G400 Logitech - Asus VS247H - WASD custom mechanical and QCKPAD! 

Staples of LTT: Getting an 4690 K will resurrect your lost family members, AMD = More heat thus AMD = Satan.

H97M PRO 4 is a superior motherboard.

Going to be a waste because I'm spending my money on a locked cpu.

you can pair the i5-4460 with even a GTX 970 and have very good performance in games, it's a good choice.

As for the motherboard as i said i'd go with the H97 PRO4

Oh. Then yeah just go for the best H board.

They are very similar, the biggest diffrence is chipset.

But based on a locked cpu, that does not matter.

H boards limit memory frequency to 1600Mhz or below right?

Z board allow faster memory to be used?

/Not that games benefit much if at all, but other tasks might.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

name me any tasks that benefits from higher ram speeds?

Cause till now i have never seen one.

Only if you have realy large render projects, that could take upto days maybe, but its still not significant.

Also with render projects that large, i´m talking about a totaly diffrent kind of systems by the way. :)

 

Highspeed ram is just a big load of marketing nonsense.

Highspeed ram only realy makes sense if you have an apu or igpu based system.

Should have clarified my wording,..not using 'do' but 'might',..I have not done any testing,.. I cannot say, I was just stating that it could be something the OP may wanna know about, if its true.

Rendering and tasks that use 100% CPU and a lot of data to be transferred in the subsystems of the OS (I know the benefit could be little to none), as I said I have not tested it.

No problem i understand,

Highspeed ram mainaly makes sense if you use an igpu or an apu based system.

In which the igpu or apu, uses the speed of your ram to work with.

Yeah I've tested that, with my onboard Intel iGPU,.. 1866Mhz>2200Mhz and a iGPU OC,. allowed me to play many titles with acceptable FPS..finally :)

Would be a waste since I already have a r9 290. Couldn't find a normal h97 pro4 atx either.

the mATX one is pretty much the same...size isn't important.
