Motherboard help

[Finn1744]

i need help choosing motherboard for lga2011, and z97/h97 thing on http://www.pbtech.co.nz under 200$ nz (site is new zealand )

With a LGA2011 a Z97 board will not work. That is for LGA1150 sockets. You will need a Z99 board to support the LGA2011 socket type. 

 

Looking at the the site you listed, there is only 1 Z99 board and it is about 500... so I would suggest you switch up your build.

:mellow:

X99 is for 2011-3

X79 is for 2011

 

Z97/Z87/H87/H81/Q87/Q85/B85 is for 1150

 

Tell us the CPU you're trying to use and we can tell you the board/socket it should go with.

How much more is the 4690K?

 

And the board I posted above will work well with an i5.

Well the i5 4690K+ the mobo I linked would be a good pair. I'd grab a Hyper 212 EVO with it and you'll get a good overclock from it (I got 4.7 ).

Never heard of apacer, as long as it has a decent warranty it should be ok.

 

Any reason for msata?

 

I'd try grab a regular sata ssd like the mx100 or 840

yes but if you're buying them might as well get them matching for aesthetic purposes
