[HELP] Which Mobo?!

[mcviechua]

Hi everybody!

Decided on everything except the Mobo. Going for i5-4690K, will be Overclocking.
-Used for Gaming (BF4,FC4,...)
-Streaming (Soon/Future)
-Vids (Duh?)

Tell me which is better and if can, WHY?

1) ASRock Z97 Extreme 4
2) GIGABYTE Z97X-UD3H/UD3H-BK
3) ASUS Z97-A

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Honestly I'll go for gigabyte because I feel that their mobo is really excellent in terms of reliability, performance without costing too much.

I'm running a Z87X-D3H and it's been perfect thus far. I feel that ASUS is a little on the high side for price.

I have no experience with asrock myself so I can't say

Using the UD3h

great mobo, no issues so far

But didnt try to OC

Anyone heard,saw or used the ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER

Is it better than the 3 i listed??
Or is more like a meh gimmick, not good + ex??

PS, cannot place the product link..

What do you mean by "better"? More features, better quality or what?

All motherboard nowaday uses the same quality stuff. Its all about how it is marketed, price and brand that determine the price.

For me, i'll rather go for the cheapest board with features that i NEED cause motherboard doesn't effect my gaming performance at all so why bother paying attention to it. Just get a motherboard that provide all your NEED.

If you do more research, killer LAN doesn't really help much.

None of the above.

Cause none of the games you played is gonna benefit. It wont bring you 2 digit fps.

But if you are those just wanna venture out, just go for the ASRock Z97 Extreme 4.

Erm.. apparently i looked(research) around, "some" say that the OCing for the UD3H is better than the A or Extreme 4. (No Proof but need reviews and experiences)

Features.. I can't really differentiate the differences they have.. Base on needs i believe both 3 provides the same.. Just that i probably need mobo that has both durability and can OC well.

Definitely the NEED that you're saying is more like.. The ports that i require or going to utilize from the mobo right?

Both 3 running on Intel LAN i think?? :/

Anymore reviews or recommendations towards the 3 choices??

Gonna get the rig specs finalize soon! Left mobo! ><
