I need a MB for an I7 4770K

[br0nka]

Hello again to all….the usual heavyweights are back in action

This time I have a question about which motherboard to buy to assemble an intel core i7 4770k, with the idea of assembling a second graphics card like the one I have (Sapphire r9 290x) in SLI in the future and above all, prepared for overclocking.

I continue with these memories
Corsair Vengeance PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 16GB 2x8GB CL10 CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 DDR3 Memory

Really, thank you for the great job you do guiding and solving, again and again, doubts and problems of the community....you are of great help!

A Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 that goes for 125€ is a good option, and it supports Crossfire and SLI.

About the micro, I would rather buy one from the second batch (2014), when they improved the IHS issue, like for example the 4790K.

Although personally, I see less and less sense in the K versions, because of the good performance of Turbo, and the cooling problems of the latest LGA1150 generations, which limit their OC potential.

Salu2!

Thanks for both recommendations.

On the motherboard topic, I got quite lost reading and reading more. An important issue for me is a future Crossfire/SLI and its OC capability. The same gives me the idea and I decline to try that liquid cooling thing.

Regarding the processor, thanks for the wise advice. I was unaware of the heat spreader issue; I had read something but just like with the topic I mentioned before, I didn't understand the importance of it.

Greetings Fassou!
