I would get the MSI B85 gaming instead. Update the bios to allow OC'ing with that chip and it can easily keep it with the 750Ti

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I don't think you need to OC for the 750 to buy you can do it if you update the bios for the h81

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

I own the H81M-D PLUS. It's a pretty good motherboard but I don't have that Pentium so I can't say if it overclocks it or not, but assuming it's true that Asus enabled overclocking with it's budget boards I assume it'd overclock fairly well with it being Asus and all. But, you will need to update the Bios, otherwise that chip will not overclock and will not work. But it's honestly a good board only thing I don't like is it having two fan connectors with one being the CPU.
