Hey guys, I don't know witch one of these motherboards would be best for gaming and just wanted to get some opinions on what one would be best. I'll be using a i5 4690k OC and a MSI 980TI. I want the board to be OC and two way SLI capable. I have a red and black theme so the board has to be red and black. I don't mind spending a bit more if it will get me a better board, but don't want to spend a load of money on things I don't need. These are 3 I have been looking at.

Personally I like MSI and i've had bad experiences with Asus so I would say MSI. :)

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Oneplus 6 (Early 2023 to present) | HP Envy 15" x360 R7 5700U (Mid 2021 to present) | Steam Deck (Late 2022 to present)

Noctua NH-D15 (Early 2021), Corsair MP510 1.92TB NVMe SSD (Mid 2020), beQuiet Pure Wings 2 140mm x2 & 120mm x1 (Mid 2023),

All of those are high quality boards. I would just go with the one that is cheapest and fits your needs.

Cheers pal, I just want to make sure I don't go wrong. :)

Also, noticed a typo in the title.

Cheers pal, I have dyslexia and google has thought me to spell more than school ever did. I even did all my test on a tape recorder. :)
