New MoBo + CPU

Yeti's Tech Dreams

Go to solution Solved by SeanAngelo,

Alright so I got a 980 ti last week. I need to upgrade my old fx 6100 now. I've decided to go with a 4790k since 5820k would mean a good $300+ more for me. (More expensive mobo, new ram, cpu itself is $100 more) So what I need to figure out is what MoBo I should get. Anyone have any favorites? I plan on overclocking some, but also don't want to spend to much since the rest will go towards a AIO cooler.

MSI Z97 Krait? Cheap and decent.

Edit: Or should I wait till after black friday and see if any pop up cheap then?
