August 5, 201412 yr What mobo do you recommend for a new build for FXS? I am going to use a 4790k but am having difficulty selecting among the different offerings of a given manufacturer, let alone selecting among those manufacturers. Other than "more is better" for a given feature, how to choose?
August 6, 201412 yr Here is a list of Motherboard's compatible with your CPU ranked in the order of the best as rated by reviewers around the Internet http://www.pc-specs.com/cpu/Intel/Core_i7/Core_i7-4790K_4-Core_4.0GHz/2103/Compatible_Motherboards . I have the ASUS Z87 Deluxe which is rated a 10 out of a max of 10, the highest but you can definitely get away with one much cheaper. I just like to buy expensive things....

August 7, 201412 yr Get the Z97 chipset it is newer than the Z87. I just got a Z97 MSI gaming 7 board that I'm putting together today. has good reviews on this forum if you read through the 4790k posts down below. It is also 10/10 on the website firehawk listed, and is a lot cheaper.
August 7, 201412 yr Just look at what features you need and select your preferred brand. Myself, I prefer Gigabyte, some people like Asus or MSI or Asrock. Arnobg is correct when he says get a Z97 board tho, not a Z87 P3D v4.5 MSFS2024 MSI 32" 1440PmonitorRyzen 9800x3d 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Gigabyte B850m Aorus Elite Ice Sapphire Pure 16gb 9070XT, Montech Lightflow 360mm aio Montech King 15 Pro 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive.Saitek Yoke, Pedals, Radio Panel, Switch Panel, 2 x FiPs
