Z97 MOBO

[Philcat101]

I have been planning a system centered on the 4790k.

I would like to know a motherboard that is in the $130-$180 ish range that can do these things:

Easy to navigate and comprehensive BIOS (so probably ASUS or MSI)

Doesn't sell itself on futureproofness but rather on reliability and good features for now

I won't use m.2 or SLI

Gives me a stable overclock for a 4790k

I am mobile so sorry if this post doesn't seem clear.

Any Z79 mobo.

 

I'll actually go find one now, if you give me a color. $180 is a big budget for a motherboard.

i have an asus Z97 sabertooth mk2, and am very satisfied with it.

otherwise, the msi Z97 krait is a nice pick as well.

 

but really, unless you buy absolute garbage the motherboard shouldnt affect overclocking potential on haswell.

The motherboard for z97  is completely useless when it comes to overclocking. So pretty much anything that has the features you want it good.

The entire MSI series has my vote of confidence

none of the Asus boards do and Asus agrees looking at their customer support rap

I just got the msi z97 which I am very happy with. It has everything you can ask. It has easy overclocking technology and one button easy overclocking (it's better to do it manually). It even displays your cpu's temperature which is necessary for me. I highly recommend it. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K8KPXUO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

 

UPDATE:

It fits my i7-4770k. I don't know if it fits an i7-4790k. If it doesn't I would still look at some msi motherboards.

Z97 is the highest end haswell chipset, it's the most useful when overclocking.
