I've been looking for good motherboards to use in a new gaming PC build, but don't know what to look for in a motherboard. I'm going to be using an i7 4790K and 16Gb of RAM with a GTX 770.
Thanks.

You'd actually get more performance saving whatever money you have left for an SSD.

I'd get this mobo instead it has more features and overclocking headroom. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I see they're both Z97's, but there is a great price difference. What is the difference between these two?

The Mpower has greater overclocking support for high end overclocks.

I see, so would this be an advantage that is worth the price with a 4790k compared to what you offered? (Assuming I will overclock)
