Which motherboard should i get?

[EzioSan]

Hello guys, i´m planning to buy a intel pentium g3258 to overlock it. when they release skylake or boradwell desktop intel cpus, i plan on grabbing an i 7 4790k when the price drops a little

 

atm i have my eyes on the motherboard series of asus.. i have my eyes on the Asus Z97-p which is the cheapest in my country.

 

so my question is does this motherboard overlock good? will it be a good combination with and i7 and a gtx 970 ?

or should i invest more or get a different motherboard? i had an as rock board before and it was really good but i may try one asus board now...

 

regards, ezio

I've built on 4 or 5 Z97-A's which, I would assume, are the P's closest cousin depending on the region. All have OC'd exceptionally well. This can be said for just about every Z97 board out there, regardless of the manufacturer, ASUS just has the best UEFI IMO.

 

i7, 970 or 980 (as well as the 280X/290X), are a great combination. There's no point in investing more money into a MOBO beyond the features you need.

Well said runit, well said.

Thanks, I've ripped through enough MOBO's in the last couple years to know when I'm about to waste a ton of money on some pretty plastic, or an extra port I'll never use :blush:

If I'm building for someone else, I know better than to argue with them about it :lol:

Id wait till the Z170's drop and either get one or get a z97 cheaper
