Hey everyone,
I'm on the hunt for a motherboard with an LGA 1150 socket. I've been scouring the web for a bit and these four caught my eye. Basically, if you guys have any solid recommendations, I’m looking to drop around $200 max.

If anyone could give me a hand picking the winner, I'd really appreciate it! 😉

Honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of them... if I were in your shoes, though, I’d probably lean toward either the first one or the last one on the list. Are you thinking about overclocking the processor?

Hmm, I’ve been chewing on that too, yeah. Though, honestly? I’m doubting I even need to bother since my CPU is an i7-4770k anyway

In that case, don't forget you'll probably need to pick up an aftermarket radiator at some point 🙂

Oh, absolutely 😁.
