Looking for a Motherboard

[Akadis]

Hej

following specs (manufacturer isn't important):

• Violett/black or white/black (will use black light) (or red/black or blue/black)
• 2-way sli (3-/4- possible)
• as much as possible PCI lanes
• A GOOD Networkcard (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) better integrated or seperate PCI?
• I will overclock so a Z97? (1150 Socket --> i7-4790K)
• Much FanHeaders
• ATX
• if possible a good sound chip
• under 300€

thanks for the help

You could try MSI or Gigabyte's gaming series of motherboards. They both have great BIOS interfaces and have a red and black theme. I own an MSI gaming 7 which is perfectly fine for SLI. Asus also has a fantastic set of ROG motherboards albeit on the pricey side. For three or four card configs you may want an X99 motherboard. I've heard great things about the Asus X99 deluxe board. It's a white and black X99 motherboard with a great BIOS and can support those powerhouse CPUs available for the platform. If I were you, I'd go with the deluxe and a 5820k with two Gigabyte G1 gaming cards in SLI. It not only would look great, but you'd be set for any video editing or other work intensive things on your PC. (depending on what RAM you choose) In my opinion though; if you are on a budget I would just get a good Z97 motherboard and do only two way SLI as you won't really get anything out of 3 or four card configs. Or! You could wait for the new skylake 1151 motherboards. I certainly wish I would of. They seem more centric for gamers as opposed to content creators with the X99 platform.

I read that the new gen wouldn't be as fast as the old series (like the i7-4790 with 4GHz base clock)

 

AND there will be a broadwell-K series which will be like a devils canyon V2 so i think i will stay at the LGA 1150

Yeah, they aren't as fast because they have more cores. That can be fixed with an overclock though. It's just my two cents if you really want to go crazy with a four card config. A two way SLI or crossfire config with a Z97 board and a 4790K would be the best. I'm more of a one card guy though. Make sure you have a good PSU.

If you are going to stay at the LGA 1150 then i would definitely say Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 which is quite decent one can go with that hopefully.

TP link makes some good Wifi cards!

 

Also go for any MSI one that has dragon!
