Posted March 11, 2015 Best in terms of what? They all do the same things really and make no difference to gaming to be honest. Just look for one that gets good reviews, good brand, good price and go from there.

Posted March 11, 2015 That's a heavy board, how much do boards weight anyway. Seriously, any board will do but with a K CPU, make sure you get one that runs on the Z97 chipset. More VRM is better when overclocking such sa board with 8 VRM will handle OC better than a board with 4 VRM. Multi-gpu setup like AMD's CFX needs at least 2x PCIe x16 slots, and so does Nvidia's SLI. For SLI both slots needs to run at a electrical lane of either x16/x16 or x8/x8. AMD's side, it can run at x16/x16, x8/x8, or x16/x4 << not highly suggested to run CFX with this configuration. The rest of the stuffs depends on if you need them or not like wifi or bluetooth.

Posted March 11, 2015 Boards don't really make a difference in OC'ing. You're fine with getting one that has your needs for things like SLI/Crossfire compatibility, SATA ports, enough RAM slots, enough fan headers, exc.

Posted March 11, 2015 I bought an Asus z97k for £90 and it's brilliant, and of course has that amazing Z97 chipset and a huge warranty. Around £100 is the perfect price/performance ratio. Save yourself £100 and put that towards an SSD or a better GPU/CPU, that's where you'll see the real performance.
