Motherboard Help

Hey guys,

i'm trying to figure out what kind of system i want to build in the coming months

i just have a question, if im going to build a non-overclocking gaming rig, which chipset should i go with?
if im getting an i5 4670 & r9 280x, which motherboard/chipset would be better on a system that would be running/on for like 12+ hours daily and can handle those parts.

im currently looking at:
Asus B85 (TUF) Vanguard
Gigabyte H87M D3H

the prices are just the same.

thanks in advance!

what do you need? sli/crossfire support, how many hdd? form factor
what about asrock -> ASRock B85 Pro4

BigBoi · Oct 28, 2013

im thinking mATX.
1 ssd, 2hdds
no crossfire

so the B85 chipset would be better than H87?

no H87 is better and faster H series better than B series

Not really. Depends on your needs.

Note: The 280x is a large card. Make sure you have enough room in the case before hand....

I didn't :eek:
