Motherboard recommendations?

[(Reggie_EU)]

I'm currently doing a PC build and I am wondering which motherboard to get I'm going to have the i5 4690k CPU so the board needs to be good at OC and I would like it to support 32GB of ram I'll be running an Msi r9 280x GPU and I am looking to spend £70-£75 max but less than that preferably

He just wants space for 32GB...I hope

[(Reggie_EU)]

The 32GB if ram is to upgrade in the future I'll only go up to 16gb though

Ahh right, what are you going to do with the PC? Gaming or other stuff?

I don't care much do colour co-ordination but Red. Would be preferred

Mainly just gaming and some streaming

Oh right, just saying 16GB of RAM is WAAAYAYYYYYY overkill for gaming. You would be better with 8GB and saving the money for something else in your build.

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 or Asus Maximus 7 Ranger

Yeah I know I have the build with 8GB in it at the moment but I might upgrade in the future if do things that use a little more ram

You could not spend £20/£30 more and then get an even better Motherboard? In the long run spending the extra £20/£30 would be better? 

[dragoon20005]

go for one big monitor

 

then invest in the board i suggested
