Guest CW4.Sharpz=US= Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Everyone, I need a processor and motherboard. It's getting difficult to find a cheap mobo compatible with my processor so I'm just going to sell off the CPU and get a new Mobo and CPU Any suggestions? Please use the uk version of Part Picker for your links. At the moment i'm looking at Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor and MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.LT.Padarom=US= Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The CPU is a solid choice, I have the same one and clock it to 4.2 GHz. For the motherboard I'd recommend a Z97 chipset over a Z87 for various reasons: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-upgrades/z97-vs-z87-which-motherboard-should-i-buy-3539137/ I'm running with an ASRock Z97M, which is a µATX board for my Carbide Air 240 case. Naturally there's more slots in a normal ATX board, so having the space I'd pick one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slackin Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm running the 4690k and the z97 both run amazingly well I've tested how much of a load it can handle I've run bf4 cod bo2 and ff14 without getting the bog down at all I love them and would recommend them both Sent from my U9200 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Processor is good.. Motherboard choices are: MSI z97 Gaming 5, Gigabyte z97mx(yes its micro and it will still fit in your case), Asus maximus VII hero and ASrock z97 Extreme6.

Guest Ret.Maj.Xander=US= Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have a Gaming 5 mobo, its great. Waiting on the price of M.2 PCIe hard drives to go down to take advantage of that port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
