Me and my schoolmate are planning to buld a gaming PC on a budget. He's a PC virgin (that means he dosen't know how to OC)

 

He's got a budget of SGD$750.00, I was thinking of using the MSI one because of the OC genie 4 and it was the cheapest one. He could overclock his G3258 with just one button after the BIOs update.

 

please let me know if it was a good idea

 

the games he bought:

 

Battlefield 4

Titansfall

LoL

WoW

Conquer

dirt 2 / dirt 3

SD Gundam Capsule Fighter

Rakion

 

other apps

 

microsoft word

Exel

Windos OS 8.1

The Z97M-G43 will be more than enough, and I personally trust them more than AsRock.

@Daniel91, thank you for not putting "HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP, NEEDED. QUICK!" as I see sooo many members do. Just a simple "Help Needed" will always suffice. :)

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

ASRock isn't that bad. But yes, The Z97-G43 will probably work out better for the OP.

Oh yeah, they are definitely not that bad, but from my experience I am not the biggest fan of their products. (All USB ports and RAM slots died on a Z77 Pro3)
