Gonna buy new motherboard, which one is recommended? ASUS?

[w33d]

Hello. I'm planning to buy a new motherboard, and i need UR help to buy one. Cuz im a real noob when it comes to motherboards (YES iknow motherboards have nothing to do with fps or better performance ingame) but the thing is, my pc wont start, so i think its either my psu or motherboard wich is smashed (i think its psu did some testing) and so, which motherboard do u guys prefer? I'm hoping a motherboard from asus, cuz they seem to never let anyone down. But, there are so many fuckin different kinds from asus that i dont know wtf to buy, its like hero , rampage , z97 and so forth..........  ( 200 - 300 dollar range, maby even more if its worth it )

My pc specs currently:

 

MSI Nvidia GTX 980

ASrock h87m pro4 motherboard (its shit)

intel i5 4670k

sharkoon wpm 600 bronze powersupply (THIS ONE IS DESTROYED, I HAVE ORDERED: CORSAIR HX 750i PLATINUM)

ssd samsung 256 gig

1 tb harddrive (dunno rpm)

5 fans i think (im at work atm)

16 gig RAM

 

Also , if you know bout a better motherboard from MSI, i might consider buying it too.

any board will technically do, but something like the ASUS ___-A series boards are good, inexpensive general purpose boards. I'd look for ones (from ASUS anyway) with letter based names, as those that aren't are usually from a higher tier with more feature's than many people will utilise.

Is it a Micro-ATX case? oh and is there a colour preference? (btw there is literally 1 micro-ATX board in that price range, all except 1 other is below)

Check out the following to see what best suits you -

Just check your ram is suited to the mobo - should be fine but I've never built one - so check the website to be sure.

then I suggest a Asus maximus 7

[w33d]

Wich one of the maximus 7? there are so many, im mainly gonna use it for gaming , but it looks like the z97 deluxe has some sick overclock and fan speed stuff, while the maximus vii hero is like... well it says best audio and best internet connection but like... yea i dunno .. im stuck as fuck.... both look really good but the z97 deluxe catches my interest more for some reason.... ugh wtf why is this shit so difficult lol.

gigabyte i have had a few and had no problems at all

Thanks bro, bomb !

The deluxe is great but around $300 US

For half the price, around $120 US, consider the Asus Z-97-A USB3.1

No wifi or Bluetooth but pretty much the same board with a few less top end extras. Still able to do a mad OC on this puppy.

I would just get the Asus Maximus VII Hero. 

Good features

Not to pricey

Good OC potential

Good audio and lan

 

If you want a more cut down version (less quality components but same features) than go with the Asus Maximus VII Ranger.
