Sup.. Soo, I've been helping my friend to choose components for his PC and this morning he said that he ordered the parts I recommended.. I mean, the parts are good but Im a bit worried about the mobo. It's a Gigabyte Z97P-D3, been reading some reviews of amazon+newegg (legit?) and some people seem to have some problems. The reason why I chose it is because there were pretty much no motherboards in the price range. I really had to choose cheap (but good) stuff so I could get a motherboard in the build.
It's going to be used with a i5 4460, but now you may ask ''Why are you going with a Z97-board + non unlocked cpu'', well, the only motherboards in the price range was B85M-G and the Gigabyte board. I chose the Gigabyte board because I didnt wanna risk getting problems with the B85-board, I heard that there may be problems with not getting it to post if the BIOS version is pasrhfjuieabnefuia!! Anyways, from my understanding the Z97 + i5 4460 will work out of the box, I checked their CPU support list and everything seems to be good!
ANYWAYYS GUYYYYS! How is this board actually? I will feel bad as hell if he runs into problems !
