Hey community!

 

Im a new builder and researching parts for my first build. Currently I've found a deal on microcenter and need help deciding which bundle I should get. The bundle comes with 

4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4690K 3.5GHz LGA 1150 Processor

Should I get the bundle with Z97 Extreme 4 LGA 1150 ATX motherboard for $304 

 

or a Z97-Gaming 5 1150ATX for $319

 

or GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 LGA 1150 ATX for $339

 

Thanks!

I might take the MSI Gaming 5 combo

 

that is my personal choice

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
