Can't Decide on 1150

[Zo23]

Can't decide on which motherboard I wanna get my for gaming/editing computer. I will be overclocking my i5 4690k and I will have a gtx 970 on it. 

Please help me pick the right one. Thanks guys.

Well the ASUS one can't overclock so ditch that, out off those I'd personally get the gaming 3 since it's the cheapest

Only Z97 can OC so don't get the H97-PLUS.

Go from this list: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=99&s=24&sort=a8&page=1&f=2

I would get an MSI SLI Krait but that's just me: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/CwPzK8/msi-motherboard-z97sslikraitedition

What do you think about the MSI Z97 Gaming 5?

For simplicity's sake try to always link the PCPartPicker link so I can see its actual price (not just Amazon): http://pcpartpicker.com/product/bgDwrH/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97xgaming5

 

It looks fine but a bit pricy for my taste. I generally get cheap motherboards because I don't find them to be all that important (unless you have a specific need like USB type-c or something) but I think if it matches your color scheme the KRAIT is a really good deal at that price.

 

To actually answer your question yes it's a good mobo but not my type of thing. If you're looking for red I would get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/fLvRsY/asrock-motherboard-fatal1tyz97killer

For what its worth the Gaming 7 just won its 6th customer choice award on newegg. I'm biased so I will let others chime in with their experience, just throwing it out there

 

AresKrieger is also correct, you aren't going to be able to OC that H97, so X that off the list.
