not on sale now, currently 140$ on newegg, but ive seen it on sale for around 120 before

oh ok, im deciding between H97M-G43 vs pc mate, $86 vs $82, msi seems to have a good bios for simple overclocking the g43 looks good because its a micro atx form factor

I just picked up a i5-4670k for $160(good deal for me since im living on a rock in the middle of the ocean), anyway, what is a good MB for overclocking thats around $100-$120, im upgrading from a i5-2500 so i know i have to buy a MB, Ram, i have 4gb gtx960, and a evga  500w, any suggestions on what i need to get this to a decent gaming system? right now i play fallout 4 with about 30+ mods running, later plan to play more graphical intense games but need to upgrade my monitor also.

if i post a link to amazon try to use the LTT affiliate code to help the channel http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=linustechtips-20

As Aytex said, the PC Mate is good

Also, you could technically argue everyone (except people that live on planes or in outer space) lives on a rock in the middle of the ocean :P

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Lol, except this rocks cost of living is ridiculously high, people still trying to sell first gen i3's for $200. the best deal i found recently was an i5-2500k for $150 and ummm i don't think thats an upgrade from my i5-2500(technically it is, but no) :P
