Motherboard searching

[DarrenP]

So i've decided i'm going to be getting rid of my 3770K and my MSI Z77 MPOWER. I will also be swapping out my H100I for an H320. My plan are to buy a 4770K, and the H320. However i haven't quite decided on a motherboard. I'm thinking the Gigabyte Z87X-OC Or the Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD7H TH. I really want to get the second one based of the fact it has Thunderbolt and i use thunderbolt because i have a Macbook Pro. If there are any other suggestions on boards. Please let me know of them. I will not be buying any MSI Motherboard. Things i require are the ability for 2 way SLI, 4 DIMM slots, AC Wireless built in, and I would like dual gigabit lan. 

 

 

Thanks!

take a look at the asrock z87 extreme 9. If you're willing to give up thunderbolt, then go with the asus z87 deluxe

Why not get a Z97 board, then you can use your 4770K and be able to upgrade to Devils Canyon or Broadwell  later if you feel the need. It's unsure whether Z87 will support Devils Canyon or Broadwell.

I don't really think i'll like that board. As it comes with features i wont use such as the 3.5" bay thing.

I was thinking that might be a good idea. However my guess on the price of the 4790K will be somewhere in the neighbourhood of 500$ where i live, Which would make me want to go more to the side of a 4930K or the newer Haswell-E.

I think I will be getting a Z97 board.
