Better Chipset?

OP do you understand that the $200 board you picked for H97 is Crossfire only?  So if you had plans to SLI later on they are dead.  Also if you are not an overclocker why spend $200+ on a board?  There are definitely boards that are more affordable.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

b85 chipset isnt really meant for running Devil's canyon (your 4790) so i would recomment at least an H97 mobo or z97

Thanks for pointing that out, I was only going with info available at DC launch and haven't kept up with it!

When in doubt, re-format.
