What motherboard brand

[Wolfire]

Hi, im looking for a new motherboard with 1151 socket but i don't know what brand to choose. I don't know if i should go with MSI (Gaming M3 or M5) or go with Asus (Maximus VIII Ranger or Pro Gaming). I want to know wich one offer better than the other. Pc components : One of these motherboards, i5 6600k, MSi GTX 960 Gaming 4G, 8 Gb of DDR4 From Kingston, 2 Tb of any HDD brand, a Cooler master V8 GTS (does it fit in my case?), Corsair Vengence C70 and Corsair HX750i. And that's it.

Buy a motherboard with the features you want that fits in your case with the right color and everything if it matters.

I like MSI. So M5 gets my vote.

Oh and get an R9380 from Sapphire or MSI.

MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte are generally the best you can get.

If you don't already have these parts, don't buy them, you're spending extra money that won't help you at all. Also I hear that cooler isn't worth it for its price

Anything from Asus or MSI will do you good.

humm, this seem very good, but i think ill stick with my components (ill change the cpu cooler and the psu). I like to get a black and red color scheme. I like the C70 because it got a huge amount of ventilation spots. Im not sure about the psu. But thanks. The gpu will stay the 960 though.

You forgot ASRock

I don't like the ASRock UEFI bios.

 

EDIT: I know a lot of people who would agree with me.

I agree that the ASRock UEFI isn't the best or well laid out, but the physical motherboards are excellent.

 

Not too bad

There are a ton of options around that price point that are better than the C70, for example, the enthoo pro my phanteks, but that's a Full ATX. The define R5 by fractal design etc. The PSU is very reliable, trust me everyone will say it and you're saving a lot more money from buying the EVGA one.

380 beats the 960

Just get a black CPU cooler and then red components

Agreed. But the bios can make the difference.

[Wolfire]

I like the Bios of the MSI Motherboards. Also, i didnt think the cost was so low so i make a 1600p or 1440p with this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8KNdhM

Maybe think of 16GB ram so you can multitask efficiently with game, chrome + some other apps running in the background, for fast switching and alt-tabbing
