Hey guys i just brought a intel i 5 4690k on sale 30% off and now i need a motherboard for it.

I am building my first pc and the only thing i do not know a lot about. I would like to overclock my cpu to 4,3 or 4,4 ghz so i want a nice bios that let me do that.. sli and crossfire is a plus but not a must. aswell as i would like it to be an ATX board as i am going with either the define R5 or H440 all recomendations are welcome.

sorry for bad english 

 

greetings Mads

ECS and Biostar are brands. They make very bad products.

I would suggest a Z97A from Asus, or if you want a bit cheaper, a Z97 Gaming 3 from MSI.
