Lga 1155 Motherboard to fit i7-4790k

[Edgyton]

I'm having some trouble finding a good overall motherboard for my i7-4790k. I would be overclocking to around 4.8Ghz - 5Ghz. I would prefer it to look gamerish and under $200. can somebody help me?

The 4790k is an LGA 1150 CPU. Please don't buy a board with the wrong socket. Z87/Z97 is the chipset you want to look for.

There are basically no new Z97 boards out there. All you can get are used ones. Maybe some shop has a board in store for a couple of years. The point is: there's no point in naming you good Z97 boards because it ultimately comes down to what's available second hand. 

 

You'd make better use of your money if you'd sell the 4790k now along with your RAM, add another 150-ish bucks on your budget and get a 8700k. The 4790k should go for 200-250 bucks, memory prices are crazy for DDR3. 8GB go for like 60-70 bucks. So you can make around 300 bucks or up to like 350-ish on both. If you lower your game on the mainboard to like 120-150 bucks then you have to add like 100-150 bucks for the DDR4 memory. Next year that 4790k won't be worth much anymore.

He said he has an i7 4790k though. That wouldnt help him one bit to get a board that WONT WORK with his/her CPU. Seems you could have pieced that together?
